The campaign has now expired but it's not too late to support this charity.

16,000 children in the UK are so badly bullied that they cannot go to school. The aim of Red Balloon is to aid their recovery by providing them with an 'intensive care' full-time academic and personal and social education programme so that they can return to mainstream school or go on to college.

Story

One goal. One great cause. A whole lot of fun!

For our second annual Red Balloon Ride we're upping the stakes and riding to raise £10,000 - will you join us? Tailor the ride to you, and then join us in raising funds to support bullied and traumatised children.

* We're raising a total of £10,000 in June - Because everyone is different (and in true Red Balloon style), you get to pick the time, route and distance.

Whether you're new to cycling, an enthusiastic novice, or an expert on two wheels, join us and make the challenge your own.

Set your own targets

Will you join other Red Balloon Riders in collectively raising £10,000 to help bullied and traumatised children? You can set a distance that suits you and you've got the whole of June, so make a time commitment that fits around your diary!

Perhaps you can team up with family, friends or people from work. Why not challenge colleagues from a neighbouring department to match your target? A little inter-team rivalry is a great motivator!

You can register as an individual or a team and we will send you a participant pack with everything you need to know to get inspired and out on the road.

Will you raise £25, £100, £1000 or even £10,000? The choice is yours!

It's easy to get involved

* Register here by the 24th of May. For your £20 registration fee you'll receive a T-shirt and bumper fundraising pack (If you register after the date we, unfortunately, cannot guarantee you a T-shirt, but we'd love to welcome you onto the challenge!). If you do not need a T-shirt this time, but still want to join in the registration fee is £10.
