Ride and Stride 2026

Pedalling 20 Miles for 2000 Years of History! 🚴‍♂️💨

Thanks so much for visiting our page!

On Saturday 12th September, a group of us are jumping into the saddle for the annual Ride & Stride challenge. We will be pedalling approximately 20 miles and visiting 8 historic Sussex churches—navigating our way from Fishbourne up to Lavant, past Goodwood, and back through Chichester Cathedral!

It is going to be a fantastic (and active!) day out, and we would love it if you would consider sponsoring us to help keep these spectacular local landmarks alive and kicking.

Your support is split 50/50 to make a huge difference both locally and regionally:

50% goes directly to the St Peter and St Mary Church in Fishbourne Restoration Appeal (https://fishbournechurch.uk/) to help fund urgent, much-needed repairs to our beloved local church.

50% goes to the Sussex Historic Churches Trust (SHCT), which works tirelessly to preserve historic places of worship of all denominations throughout Sussex.

Whether you can spare the price of a takeaway coffee or a little bit more, we are incredibly grateful for your backing. Thank you so much in anticipation of your support!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast, and totally secure. Your details are safe with them—they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity.
