Story

Biking for Children in Care are setting off on 25th June for the 25th time! We are raising money for Become, the national charity for children in care and young care leavers.

In 2026 50 of us and our brilliant support team are covering 200 bike miles - Riding the Minsters - we will staying in magnificent Lincoln, biking on to Hull and then Scarborough and arriving in beautiful York on 28th June where we will celebrate!

Who knew when we set off in 2002 from Land's End, pedaling with Bob at the Back behind Bob (and David) at the Front, that we would still be covering the miles and badgering our friends to support us, 25 years later? Or that we would have raised over £1 million for Become (formerly The Who Cares? Trust) to make a difference and improve things for children in care and care leavers?

Check out www.bikingforchildrenincare.co.uk - for pics of what we looked like through the years! and info on how you can join our happy band!

Every pound will help fund life-changing support and powerful campaigning. Together, we can make sure a young person has someone to turn to when things feel tough, and help amplify their voices to drive the change they want to see in the care system.

If you can, please chip in to support. Your donation will go a long way.
