Ride + Stride 2026 is a dynamic fundraising event that brings people of all ages together to walk or cycle between churches in their local area, supporting the preservation and care of historic places of worship.

Kate and David are raising funds for DHCT and St. Peter's Church, Dorchester. Kate will be cycling around the town and villages and David will be in his manual wheelchair, assisted on the hills of Dorchester by Faith, Libby, Shirley and Jonathan.

Held across Dorset, the event not only provides vital financial support to local churches but also offers a chance to explore the community, enjoy the outdoors, and engage with the region’s rich heritage. Funds raised are shared between the participant’s chosen church and the county’s Historic Churches Trust, helping to safeguard these treasured buildings for future generations.
