Story
We are cycling to Paris in July 2017 to raise money for our partner charity Providence Row.
Providence Row works with more than a thousand homeless and vulnerably housed people a year in East London, offering an integrated service of crisis support, advice, recovery and learning and training programmes.
Their aim is to ensure that people who are so often excluded from mainstream services gain the support and opportunities they need to create a safe, healthy and sustainable life away from the streets.
We will be setting off from the Goodman's Fields site on Tuesday 18th July and arrive in Paris on Saturday the 22nd in time for the Tour de France finish on Sunday 23rd.
Providence Row is a great charity that does amazing work in the local area to help the homeless. We want to raise at least £10,000 by April 2017 so please dig deep where you can.
£25 could fund a week of breakfast and showers for a rough sleeper.
£500 could fund a whole term of their ten week employability programme Working On It.
£1500 could give someone the opportunity to take part in a ten week trainee scheme and learn skills in gardening or catering.
No matter the amount, we appreciate any donation you are able to make.
Wish us luck...(we'll need it!)
