In May last year, Wendy&James bought two road bikes with the aim to cycle from London to Paris, supporting Neil and Emma Redcliffe's ambition to raise a significant sum of money for the Sheriffs and Recorders Fund.  A staggering sum was raised thanks to the generosity of so many.  Because of people's generosity we were fortunate to donate £50,000 to "Out for Good" and the comments below show why we are "Cycling Again".  These comments are from HMP ISIS themselves - the programme makes a real impact.....

Out for Good is a resettlement and employment scheme run by the Bounce Back Foundation.  Out for Good is an innovative end to end solution to sentence planning combining employer engagement and case management with the objective that people leave prison with a job to go straight into. The programme targets prisoners who are six months prior to release to prepare and support them into the employment opportunities offered by a diverse range of prospective employers.  Employers come into the prison numerous times to meet and interview candidates giving them the opportunity to build a relationship with the prisoners prior to release and vice versa easing participants’ apprehension of attending interviews and work post release.    

93 prisoners at Isis participated in a previous "Out for Good programme" with 72 of them being offered jobs on release.

 If we asked last year for sponsorship, we want to thank you, but also show the impact of your generosity.

This year, Wendy and I were asked if we would consider  would consider a further challenge.  Further in miles!  This time from Waterloo [London] to Waterloo [Belgium].  We were "delighted" to accept - we have seen the impact of the Sheriffs and Recorders Fund.  PLease support us!
