So once again I have signed up for the Coast to Coast cycle challenge!! From the 5th to 7th of June we will be setting off from Ullapool on our bikes to cycle approx 240 miles back to Aberdeen as part of Coast to Coast 17 (C2C17)

This year the event will be raising funds for 4 amazing charities and I am proud to be riding for Instant Neighbour Aberdeen. They do amazing work in the community in Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire.

Instant Neighbour has been supporting people in Aberdeen City and Shire for almost 40 years. We support people on low incomes to set up home, by providing access to low-cost reuse furniture, white goods, clothing and bric a brac. As well as our shops, our services include Carpetinc and Joinerinc, professional services that are accessible to everyone to use.

We offer employability experiences through volunteering in our shops, warehouse, in our vans and in our office.

Any profit made from the above goes back into the organisation to support our Charitable work.

Help us maximise the potential of our communities

From a personal perspective your support and generous donations make a huge difference when out on the training rides and getting the miles in preparing for the event. Every £1 you donate will be matched by my employer!! Any amount you can donate, large or small makes a difference!!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
