Ride & Stride 2025 is an exciting fundraising event that invites people of all ages to walk or ride between churches in their local area to raise money for the preservation and upkeep of historic places of worship. In 1926 TS Eliot wrote of the 'design to destroy' the City churches of London. He said "A visible church, whether it assembles five hundred worshippers or only one passing penitent who has saved a few minutes from his lunch hour, is still a church..." Nearly a century on, rural parish churches are still in desperate need of funds for repair and maintenance. Dorset Historic Churches Trust does a fantastic job, but further funds are always needed. Please support me on Saturday 13 September as I ride out.
