Ride & Stride 2026

Occurring
for 10 hours
Venue
St James, Alderholt
Address
Daggons Road Alderholt Salisbury, SP6 3DN, United Kingdom

If you are keen to take part or learn more about the event, please contact our Church Administrator, Jade. To get you going, please open the guide to Riders and Striders (link below). There are two ways to raise sponsorship - For those who prefer to give cash or a cheque, pledges can be recorded on the Sponsorship Form. However we encourage you to raise sponsorship through JustGiving using the Trust’s campaign page for 2026. On the day, you will need to record your visit to each church on the Record Form.

To help you plan your route and especially to find churches that are open, are offering refreshments or have a lavatory, Ride & Stride's official website will be publishing that information in August. Thank you in advance for deciding to take part. We encourage you to team up in twos and threes or whole families to share the fun of a great day out in Dorset’s countryside. Good luck with raising sponsorship and enjoy a safe day.

St James, Alderholt

Welcome to St James', Alderholt. We hope you find this information useful. For more information please see our Church website. We hope to welcome you to one of our services or events in the near future.

We are an Inclusive Church and hold to the Inclusive Church statement below:

We believe in inclusive Church – a church which celebrates and affirms every person and does not discriminate. We will continue to challenge the church where it continues to discriminate against people on the grounds of disability, economic power, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, learning disability, mental health, neurodiversity, or sexuality. We believe in Church which welcomes and serves all people in the name of Jesus Christ; which is scripturally faithful; which seeks to proclaim the Gospel afresh for each generation; and which, in the power of the Holy Spirit, allows all people to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Jesus Christ.
