Story

To celebrate 30 years of the Country Range Group (CRG), which we’re proud members of, we’re going to be cycling as a team with the shared goal of covering more than 300 virtual miles for Hospital Action!

The Challenge
We’ll be taking over our Development Kitchen on Thursday 17th November with three static bikes, following a virtual route around East Anglian food and drink producers.

Our goal is to get every member of the Thomas Ridley team involved in this challenge, making it a real team effort. The route will follow 20 of the fantastic regional suppliers that we stock and supply into East of England Co-Op stores.

Will you help us reach our fundraising target by sponsoring us?

Our Target
We’d like to raise at least £3,000 via this Just Giving page, which will be match funded by our charity, the Ridley Godfrey Foundation. Our ultimate goal us to raise a total of £10,000 which will help people working in the industry to access vital services if they’re struggling with any work-related, health or personal issues affecting their well-being. 

Please give what you can
Funds raised on this page (up to £5,000) will be match-funded by Thomas Ridley’s charity, the Ridley Godfrey Foundation. This could take our potential fundraising total up to £10,000.

Whatever you can donate, please help us raise vital funds the Hospitality Action, the charity supporting all staff who work in the hospitality industry. Thank you.
