Story
On the 19th April, Whites' we will set off from Craven Cottage and cycle the 140 (million) miles to Bournemouth's Vitality Stadium. The cycle will run over two days and all funds raised will support Fulham FC Foundation. Neither of us have ever owned a road bike before and barely capable of riding a normal bike without stabilizers. Therefore by sponsoring us you are not only supporting the Foundation but you are supporting us to make it to Bournemouth in one piece! A valid risk for us!
We are both proud to be representing Legal, HR and Safeguarding for Fulham FC on this ride!
The Foundation is a leading community charity building better lives through sport. It is a charity that operates across London delivering sports programmes to many different communities including those who are living with learning difficulties, physical and mental health issues. These issues range from visual impairment, dementia, autism, down syndrome to stress, depression and otherwise poor health.
With more than 20 years of experience, we use the power of sport to provide meaningful education, employability, health, inclusion, environmental, and sport programmes.
At the heart of our work is a commitment to empowering the most vulnerable members of the communities in which we work, including Lambeth, Merton, Kingston, Hammersmith & Fulham and Surrey. A large proportion of our services directly impact children and young people and we use our funding to support services such as our employability programme which helps young people to build CV's and support young people to volunteer and train to become football coaches within their communities. The charitable arm of London’s oldest club, we are proud to work with an average of 12,000 unique participants per season.
