We are Team Punch - Laura Cavendish, Stephen Allen, Shirley Couchman and Jon Dale - and we’re taking on an epic challenge for two incredible causes.

From 4-6 June 2026, we will ride 270km (170 miles) across the stunning landscapes of Norfolk as part of the Pedalling To Pubs 2026 challenge. Riders from across the hospitality industry will be joining forces to raise funds for two charities making a real difference:

Licensed Trade Charity

Supporting pub, bar and brewery people facing financial hardship, health challenges and personal crises.

Only a Pavement Away

Helping people facing homelessness, prison leavers and veterans build stable futures through careers in hospitality.

Both charities work tirelessly to provide support, assistance and opportunities for vulnerable individuals within our industry, including those facing poverty, homelessness and other life challenges.

Why We’re Riding

Hospitality is built on brilliant people, and when those people hit hard times, these charities are there to catch them. That’s why we’re stepping up, pushing the pedals, and asking for your support.

How You Can Help

Please donate whatever you can.

Every pound genuinely makes a difference - and helps us keep turning those miles into meaningful support.

If you can’t donate right now, spreading the word would be hugely appreciated too.

Thank you so much for your support.
