This year 2025, the funds raised from the 350-mile Pro Bike Ride will be dedicated to continuing our vital work, providing crucial mental and emotional support to those in need. The Sikh Helpline has seen a significant rise in calls, with thousands reaching out for help. In 2024 alone, we responded to an overwhelming number of calls, with the most urgent support needed for victims of abuse.
The Sikh Helpline supports people of all backgrounds facing challenges related to mental and physical health, abuse, alcohol and substance misuse, domestic violence, bullying, racism, hate crimes, relationship issues, and more. With the rising cost of living, every single penny raised goes directly towards ensuring we can be there as a voice of reassurance, comfort, and support during the most vulnerable moments of a person’s life.
Due to cultural stigma, many families suffer in silence, reluctant to seek help until it’s too late. We need the support of our communities to meet the increasing demand for our services. Every call matters—sometimes, a single call is a person’s only chance to reach out for help. It is crucial that no call goes unanswered.
Please help us to be there for those with nowhere else to turn. Each push of your pedal represents a call for help together, we can make a difference!
