Although we will be restricted in our activities this year I will be walking, with others from the United Benefice of Thornbury and Oldbury on Severn with Shepperdine from St. Mary's Thornbury to St. Arilda's Oldbury and back. 

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.
