Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. This is our annual Ride and Stride in aid of the Oxfordshire Historic Churches Trust and our local churches. On 9th September 2017 we will be fund-raising by cycling a planned route and visiting some 20 churches. All the generously donated money goes to OHCT who then send 50% to my church. OHCT use their share to award grants to churches across the county towards the cost of fabric repairs and re-orderings.

In 2016 we managed to visit 21 churches and covered some 30 miles in the Witney area and got absolutely soaked by the continuous downpour. We were delighted to raise some £900 in all.

In 2015 we visited around 24 churches in the Woodstock area and finished at Churchill's grave at Bladon.





About the charity

The OHCT gives grants to Oxfordshire churches of all Christian denominations for major fabric repairs (walls, roofs, floors and windows). Bells, organs, clocks, new toilets and kitchens may also get grants. The annual Ride and Stride is currently the biggest source of income for the OHCT.
