Homeless support charity launches cycling challenge

St Basils Charity has announced that Cycle for St Basils is back on Saturday, 26 April to raise funds to help young people out of homelessness.

Starting and finishing at St Basils in Digbeth, cyclists can choose between two routes – a 47.5 miles challenging route through Walsall and Wolverhampton or a shorter 23.5 mile ride via Great Barr and Tipton.

St Basils is a leading Midlands charity dedicated to preventing homelessness among young people.

Through housing, education, and support services, they empower over 4,000 young people to build brighter futures every year.

Barrie Hodge, head of Fundraising and Communications at St Basils, said: “Cycle for St Basils is more than just a great day out - it’s a way to make a real impact in the lives of young people facing homelessness.

“The cost-of-living crisis is making things tougher than ever, and every pound raised from this event helps us provide a safe place to stay, life skills, and support to help young people rebuild their futures.

“Plus, with the sun finally making an appearance, what better way to spend a spring weekend than out on your bike, knowing you’re making a difference?"

Cycle for St Basils is open to all ages, but riders must be 18+ to register. To sign up a younger rider, contact events@stbasils.org.uk
