I am excited to take part in The Big Ride 2025 in support of Street Child! By taking on this challenge I will be helping fundraise for Street Child to keep children safe, in school and learning.

Street Child is an international children’s charity working for a world where all children are safe, in school, and learning. Since its founding in 2008, Street Child has reached over 1.4 million children in over 20 of the world’s poorest and most disaster-hit countries, including Nigeria, Cameroon, Afghanistan and Somalia.

The charity works in challenging contexts - countries devastated by poverty, struck by natural disasters, impacted by ongoing conflict, or recovering from war. Barriers to education are often complex and interconnected, so Street Child takes a holistic approach to ensure children not only return to school but thrive. This includes building schools, training teachers, reuniting families, supporting caregivers to develop sustainable livelihoods, and providing emergency aid and mental health support.

Street Child works closely with hundreds of local partners, championing community-driven responses to deliver effective, long-term change.

I am taking part in The Big Ride 2025, with the cycling events, and appreciate donations you may be able to give for this cause.
