Fundraising

Coast to Coast Cycling Challenge – Gold for The Three Bishops!
The Three Bishops, Pete, David and Daniel, successfully completed the Way of the Roses last month.

They cycled 172 miles from Morecambe to Bridlington in 3 days, raising just over £5000 (including gift aid) for All We Can. And Liz informs me that there’s still money coming in!

Grateful thanks go to the Bishop family for their part in this fundraising challenge and to the amazing generosity of everybody that’s donated. A BIG, BIG THANK YOU!

Check out the Circuit website News Section to see their remarkable journey through photos and video.

Donations can be made through JustGiving, see link below, or alternatively sponsorship forms are available from Liz Bishop.

Around the Circuit

Here are a few things that are happening around the Circuit to raise awareness and money for the Change Begins with a Bicycle project.
From Lindley - Lindley Methodists recently worked in collaboration with the local Scout group to run a family fun event! A great time was enjoyed by all and together with other Lindley efforts, an amazing £517 has been raised! 
From Golcar - A bicycle treasure hunt and coffee morning helped to raise a fantastic £215 for the Change Begins with a Bicycle project. Thank you to all involved!
From Bradley - Jean and Elaine are walking most days, being sponsored by Bradley church members, family and friends. All their efforts are going towards the Change Begins with a Bicycle project.
£65 has been raised to date. Thank you for your contribution – keep going Bradley!
​From Scholes - Scholes hosted an online Zoom quiz, inviting along friends from Shepley, Brockholes and Honley Trinity. Participants were quizzed on Then and Now, Where in the World, Music and General Knowledge. There was also a bit of puzzling fun with Dingbats too! I believe congratulations go to Di and Steve from Honley - worthy winners! This raised an amazing £160 for the Bicycle project!
From Lindley - ​Glenys is making a range of greeting cards, by recycling old ones, to sell and raise funds for the Bicycle project. Not only does it help with this social justice venture, but additionally it’s environmentally friendly!
£66 has been raised already, enough for one bicycle and the project is continuing. 
From Dalton - A & A cards – Alison and Audrey have a similar card project underway, which also involves recycling and renewing. Check out the bicycle theme incorporated in this design! If you’re looking for a card, there’s an assortment to choose from for every occasion! £87 has been generated for the Change Begins with a Bicycle project.
​
From Outlane – Music Concert Fundraiser – this amazing event organised by Suzanne Smelt raised in excess of £300 for All We Can – a fantastic achievement! HUGE thanks to Suzanne and to all who participated and supported!

From Almondbury – Remember the bicycle biscuits?
Some fantastic news - £338 has been raised, which is enough for five bikes, plus a bit extra! With two families on board, mums Helen and Gemma, along with support from their children (Alexander, Emmeline, Jacob and Ruby), have easily surpassed their initial target of two bikes. That’s lots of biscuits – lots of baking! And lots of munching!
