Keynsham and District Mencap Bike Ride 2010 · 13 June 2010

We are a community based self funding charity affiliated to National Mencap. We support 150 local adults and children with learning and or physical disabilities to access regular social, leisure, sporting and respite opportunities.

Story

Well, it was fantastic weather and we made the full 25 miles in just under 4 hours.  It was really great to see Sadie and Thea's determination to do the whole route and even Esther did 5 miles! 

Thank all of you so much for your fantastic support.   You have together contributed over £700 to the work of the Mencap youth clubs and it will make a huge difference to the young people who enjoy them so much.

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Why are we asking you to support Keynsham and District Mencap?  

Esther has been going to their Tuesday and Saturday youth clubs for the last 18 months and they have made an amazing difference to her life.  Social opportunities for young people with learning difficulties are very rare and the clubs give Esther the chance to have an independent social life with her friends.  The clubs also run day trips and residential camps - all staffed by fantastic volunteers.

As a small charity, Keynsham and District Mencap is obviously very dependent on donations and fundraising activities .  This event was a great success last year and raised over £4,000 of much needed funding for our clubs.

This year our target is to double that success and Sadie and I are hoping to raise £500 towards the total.  Please will YOU help us to achieve our goal?

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 - we raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
