Ride + Stride is an annual event during which our supporters raise money for DHCT and for their own church by riding, cycling or walking between our beautiful and interesting chapels. 

DHCT uses half the money raised (£107,000 in 2021) to fund vital repairs to roofs, windows and fabric while the other half is returned to nominated churches to help with their own maintenance. DHCT also grant aid the provision of facilities such as kitchenettes and lavatories so that our churches are more usable throughout the week for community activities.When sponsoring a Rider/Strider or simply donating please specify in the message box, first the village or town and then the name of the church so that we can ensure that your sponsorship/donation is credited to the church you are supporting. For example Stourpaine, Holy Trinity, Church.
