What: Cycling the length of the UK, from Lands End to John O’Groats [1000 miles].

Why: Raising money for Centrepoint, the UK’s leading youth homelessness charity.

When: 4th - 18th July (2 weeks).

Starting on 4th July 2021, we will be cycling the length of the UK from Land’s End to John O’Groats over 14 days to raise money for Centrepoint. Growing from an initial suggestion to tackle the famous ‘LEJOG’ route, we have cobbled together a motley crew of flabby but determined students, keen to take on a challenge and help where we can.

More than 70,000 households have been made homeless in the UK since the start of the pandemic, and more young people are being forced out onto the streets due to the loss of jobs and businesses. Tragically, three-quarters of youth homelessness charities expect to see an increase in the numbers of young people sleeping rough in the coming months. Centrepoint works across Britain to help house, educate and support 16-25 year-olds. We hope that with your generous support and some weary legs (and bums) on our part, together we can generate a meaningful contribution to the Centrepoint cause.
