Ride+Stride is a nationwide event supported by the National Churches Trust but organised by local historic churches trusts. All around the country on the second Saturday in September each year, thousands of people are sponsored to travel from church to church by walking, cycling or other methods. Funds raised are split between the Trust and local churches in Gloucestershire, South Gloucestershire and North Bristol.With lock down restrictions easing and churches re-opening, we planning our Ride+Stride event on 12th September 2020. With churches having been shut for so long, the need for financial help for church renovation and maintenance is probably greater than ever so raising funds is particularly crucial this year to enable us to maintain our grant programme.  Gloucestershire Historic Churches Trust has supported major work on the roof of All Saints' Cheltenham in the past and has recently contributed to the development costs of a major project we will be launching to raise funds to refurbish our historic 4-manual William Hill organ.
