After our successful rides to Paris and Amsterdam in previous years, this year's event promises to be even more exhilarating. Led by the fantastic SaddleDrunk, the ride will coincide with the 2025 TradeTech FX conference, which Sucden Financial is proud to sponsor again.

The ride will start in the beautiful city of Perpignan in Southern France, with an overnight stop in Girona, as we make our way over two days through Spain to finish by the sea in Barcelona, all for the East End Community Foundation's Life Chances Campaign.

About the Life Chances Campaign

Prior to the pandemic, poverty was already entrenched in the East End. Hackney, Tower Hamlets and Newham ranked as the 2nd, 3rd and 7th highest nationally for rates of poverty, with 50% of children and older people living below the poverty line. In addition, Newham and Tower Hamlets have the highest level of unemployment in London. These issues have been compounded by the Covid crisis, which has shone a spotlight on the disadvantage and inequality that exists in our society. The voluntary sector locally is well placed to address these issues, and thanks to our supporters, we are confident that by offering higher value grants over a sustained period, we will improve the Life Chances of local people.
