Story
We are a team of 10 passionate cyclists aiming to ride 110 miles on Saturday 14th August 2021 to raise funds for the fantastic work Grow Ltd does in the Guernsey community.
Last year we completed 100 miles, but this year we want to go even bigger. Starting from the Peninsula hotel we will be completing 5 laps of the island of Guernsey to reach the 110 mile target, before finishing all together back at the Peninsula (hopefully in time for lunch).
Training has already begun and we thank each and every one of you for your support.
Guernsey’s Rural Occupational Workshop (GROW), the first in the Channel Islands, was founded by the Guernsey Society for the Mentally Handicapped (now Guernsey Mencap LBG) and officially opened by the then Bailiff Sir Charles Frossard on the 14th July 1984. GROW is owned by a company (GROW Limited) that is registered as a Guernsey charity – CH 147, the shares in which are in turn wholly owned by Guernsey Mencap LBG. Their function is to provide training and a sheltered work environment in horticulture for people with a learning disability.
