St James the Greater, Leicester - Ride & Stride

Ride + Stride is the single largest source of income for many Historic Churches Trusts enabling them to make Grants to places of Christian worship. Taking place on the 2nd Saturday of September the funds raised can be split between the nominated Trust and the participants chosen church or chapel.

As ever Ride+Stride is a wonderful way to enjoy getting out and about safely as well as raising much-needed funds to support Grant applications from churches and chapels across the country.

Ride+Stride is a sponsored event for cyclists, walkers, joggers, runners, horse-riders and mobility scooter drivers. You can also be sponsored as a welcomer on duty in a church. 50% of sponsorship money goes to the church or chapel chosen by the participant.

Over £1,239,540 has been raised in Leicestershire since our first Ride+Stride in 1990 (with Gift Aid still to be added from 2023 Ride+Stride). Even during Covid, the event raised £107,700 in 2020-2022. That was an amazing achievement considering the difficult circumstances adn Leicester's very long lockdown, and a fantastic tribute to everyone who took part - a long list that includes area and local organisers; cyclists, tandems and mobility scooters, walkers and horse-riders; welcomers and those who open our churches on the day; and especially everyone who sponsored an individual participant or donated via the Trust's JustGiving page. We look forward to this year's Ride+Stride on Saturday 14th September 2024!
