Ride and Stride 2023
9th September 2023 was a glorious day, maybe too hot, throughout the County and many Riders & Striders were out enjoying the churches and countryside. The sponsorship monies raised will enable us to continue to fund the grants to our churches to maintain our community assets. We are very grateful to all who took part whether welcoming visitors to your church or being sponsored enjoying a day out with family or friends . We are still receiving returns from sponsored participants
Please join us on 7th September 2024


Days Out
We have developed lists of interesting churches which we have compiled into 11 areas. These could be the basis for Ride&Stride or at at any time in the year.
Please visit the webpage Days Out for further details on the areas with churches and maps.
