Event: Ride & Stride 2022, on 10 September 2022
This national event happens every year in every county. In 2021 Berkshire raised nearly £25,000 which was terrific and this year we want to do even better.

Story

Our church, St Michael and All Angels, Sandhurst, is one of many which need funds to maintain them. Local church members are left to raise funds for this with precious little help from Government or the National Lottery Heritage Fund (we've tried!). The annual sponsored Ride & Stride event on 10th September gives a chance for the local community to help preserve this important part of our heritage, where many come for weddings, funerals, baptisms, Christmas, school events and, of course, Sunday services.
50% of income from this event will go to important repairs to St Michael's Church, the rest will be used to help other historic church buildings.

Thank you for sponsoring me!  Please be as generous as you can.

(St Michael's also raises funds for other international, national and local charities that support people in various kinds of need.)
