Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

From 26/5/19 - 30/5/19 I will be cycling around all of Handelsbanken's Scottish branches to raise funds for a fantastic charity, Befriend a Child. My trip is c.500 miles in total and, starting in Aberdeen, I will visit Inverness, Perth, Stirling, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dunfermline and Dundee before returning to Aberdeen.

Befriend a Child support school-aged children in Aberdeen(shire) who are growing up in difficult life circumstances. Befriend a Child match them with trained volunteers or 'Befrienders', who act as positive role models to help children develop resilience, self confidence and self esteem. Typically these are children whose fundamental childhood years have been neglected or lost due to issues outside of their control. Befriend a Child are the only dedicated befriending and mentoring service for children in the North East, a recent report identified 8000 local children require this type of support, and every £1 raised translates to £6 of benefits to the children and families Befriend a Child work with. www.befriendachild.org.uk

My employer, Handelsbanken, are kindly covering all the costs of this event.
