Last year, with your help, IntegraCare raised over £2000 for Comic Relief. Sure enough, our 2025 Big Bike Challenge proved such a hit that the charity have featured it in this year's official Red Nose Day fundraising pack. We're very proud!

From the moment the final cyclist disembarked last March, one question has sat on everyone's lips. What will we do next time and how on earth can we match last year's success?!

It is our great pleasure to announce our 2026 campaign: 500 Miles of Funny for Comic Relief!

This March, the staff and clients at IntegraCare will be walking 500 miles to raise essential funds for those in need across the UK and further afield, adults and children who want for food, safety and a place to sleep.

The challenge will kick off with three needs-led sponsored walks, allowing participants to tackle a 2, 8 or 21 mile hike, dependent on their ability. After racking up the miles in the open air, we will then move to virtual walking, with a full week of non-stop, step pad trekking in our Supported Living office from Monday 16th March. 40 participants joined in from across IntegraCare last year and it's our hope that a more inclusive challenge this year will inspire even more to take part.

We're joining thousands of people across the nation to come together, have fun, and raise money to help make a real difference in people's lives here in the UK and around the world.

Your donation could support incredible projects which help children to be happier, families stronger, women safer, communities prouder, and millions of lives fairer. Please give today, if you can.

Don't forget to tick the Gift Aid option, if you can, so Comic Relief can claim an extra 25% from the government.

From us and everyone at Comic Relief, thank you!.
