100 Mile Bike Ride for Crisis at Christmas Charity

Richard Challis (RBS Director) took part in the 100 mile bike ride to raise money for the crisis at Christmas charity, the event was organised by Holyrood 6th form in Chard.

Last year they raised enough money to look after 40 people at Christmas.  This year their aim was to help 50 people access a Crisis Centre for the Christmas week.  People are given food, shelter and company as well as advice, counselling and medical treatment.

They rode 100 miles on Saturday 23rd November, taking in the Blackdowns, Brendons, Quantocks and Mendips in honour of Holyrood’s house system.

So far they have received £2,167.29 with a very generous £1000 donation from our friends over at DG Bastin Construction.

If you’d like to help the cause please dig deep and help keep others safe and well this Christmas!  It costs just £28.87 to look after one person for that entire week! We appreciate your support!
