Story

Pedalling for a Purpose: Supporting Age UK

On Saturday 10th of October, my friends and I will be teaming up with Balance Health Club, Kettering, to take on an exciting fundraising challenge in support of Age UK supported by Dunelm

The event will feature a 4 hour Spinathon, with all 16 bikes in constant motion as participants cycle their way towards our fundraising goal. Alongside the Spinathon, we will also be hosting a bake sale on Friday 09th of October at Balance offering a variety of treats to help raise additional funds throughout the day.

As if that wasn't enough, determined participants will take on an incredible 16 hour static bike challenge on Friday 09th of October in the reception area at Balance, demonstrating remarkable endurance and commitment to supporting older people in our communities.

Why are we Raising Money for Age UK

Age UK provides vital services and support to older people across the UK, helping those who may be facing loneliness, isolation, financial hardship, or health challenges. Their work ensures that older generations can access advice, companionship, and practical support when they need it most.

Every pound raised through this event will help Age UK continue providing these essential services and make a real difference to the lives of older people.
