Cycle or walk to raise money for St. Mary’s or St. Peter’s churches
To take part in the Ride & Stride this September you can download sponsorship and other relevant forms at https://www.friendsofessexchurches.org.uk/ride-stride or contact Stephen Garner (272599) or Annette Whybrow (272773) for further information or you can create your own fundraising page on Justgiving.
Riders and walkers are invited to find sponsors who will pay an agreed sum for each church or chapel visited on the day. This is a national event so you can cross into neighbouring counties and get your form signed up in the same way.
Half the money you raise will be spent on your church building. The other half will go towards repairing church buildings in Essex and East London.
If you can’t take part in the Ride+Stride but would like to make a donation, visit the Essex and East London Churches JustGiving page.
