The Bioenergy Infrastructure Group (BIG), an independent power producer specialising in biomass and energy-from-waste, is thrilled to be undertaking its inaugural team charity event with a virtual cycle ride in support of the Claire House Children's Hospice.

Using an exercise bike set up in the company's head office in Theale, Berkshire, the team of 26 will cycle for a combined 1,400 miles, representing the distance connecting BIG's 7 renewable energy plants in the UK.  The cycling begins in early June and is expected to take a month to complete.  A digital map will track the cyclists' progress as they take turns to peddle along a virtual route starting and ending at Theale and passing through BIG's facilities at Hoddesdon (Hertfordshire), Birmingham, Ince (Cheshire), Widnes (Cheshire), Hull, Levenseat (Lanark in Scotland) and Evermore (Londonderry).  Some members of the team are based at BIG's plants and will also have the opportunity to contribute by recording cycled mileage and adding this to the overall target.

BIG is committed to support the Claire House Children's Hospice, which is located in the Wirral, around 15 miles from BIG's flagship operational biomass to energy plants at Ince and Widnes.  The hospice provides specialist nursing care and emotional support to seriously and terminally ill children and their families.  It also operates over 20 charity shops in Liverpool and across the North-West.

BIG hopes to raise £3,000 and any donation, however big or small, would be appreciated.  The total sum raised will be matched by the company.
