Story
I started my new years resolution slightly earlier this year. On December 27th, I got back on my road bike, and I haven't really got off it again since.
Shortly afterwards, my colleagues Neil, Jon and Phil suggested it might be a good idea to join them on the Ride Across Britain - it sounded like a good idea so I quickly signed up!
Now 100 days from D Day I thought the time was right to start shaking the collection bucket as we're raising money for a great cause:
Through our Choose Love campaign, we want to help support some of the 65.3 million people displaced from their homes due to conflict or natural disaster.
Money raised will go to our longstanding partner UNHCR and Europe’s largest grassroots distributor of aid, Help Refugees. Both charities play a critical role supporting both the immediate and long term needs of those who are displaced.
In partnership with UNHCR money raised will allow us to continue to enable young refugees to access a quality digital education through our Instant Network Schools in both Africa and Greece. Working with Help Refugees we want to provide food, shelter and access to information for refugees across Europe.
Choose Love builds on 13 years’ experience supporting displaced people alongside UNHCR, Help Refugees & TSF.
