We are raising money for the charitable work of the Cumbria Community Foundation (CCF). CCF is at the heart of community life in Cumbria, making grants to local charities and people in need, including young people, old people and the disabled. CCF supports around 500 groups a year including Copeland Cancer Support Group, Cumbria Wheelchair Sports Club and Harbour Youth Project.

The route of the Rivers Ride follows the course of the rivers and many of the bridges that were either destroyed or badly damaged during the floods of 2009.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
