Cycle for Islington's youth

What You'll Do: 

We're looking for supporters to take on this cycling challenge to help raise money for Spear Islington and provide young people facing disadvantage with the support they need to thrive. You'll follow the classic London to Brighton route, starting from Clapham Common and cycling through Surrey and Sussex, tackling the famous Ditchling Beacon climb mostly on closed, traffic free roads.  

 

There will be checkpoints for refreshments and mechanical support along the way and a welcome village in Brighton. Transport back to London for you and your bike is also available for an additional £45. 

 

If you're interested, all you need to do is let us know using the link below and we'll be in touch with details on how to register. Please do also pass these details on to anyone you know who may be up for the challenge!

 

Date: 15 June 2025

Distance: 54 miles
Fundraising goal: £1,000

Cost: £35.00 entry fee

Sign up deadline: register your interest here by 31 March and we’ll be in touch with information on how to secure your place 

 

About Spear Islington: The award-winning Spear Programme helps young people aged 16-24 overcome the challenges they face and build vital skills and confidence for their career, so that they can prepare for the workplace and commit to long-term employment. The programme is highly effective, with 75% of those who complete the programme still in work or education a year later. Find out more at spearislington.org

 

We would love to get you or anyone in your network involved so please let us know if that is of interest.

 

Thank you,
