James with the Very Revd Jo Delfgou outside St Mary's Church, Hadleigh, for last year's event.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my Suffolk Churches Ride and Stride sponsorship page.

On Saturday 14th September 2024, I will be taking part in this brilliant fundraising event, cycling between many of South Suffolk's beautiful churches. This year I will be splitting my donations between the Suffolk Historic Churches Trust and St Andrew's in Great Cornard.

Organised by Suffolk Historic Churches Trust (SHCT), Suffolk Churches Ride and Stride, and Pedal & Drive is an annual event which sees several thousand cyclists and walkers of all ages, (and drivers of vintage and classic cars) taking part in the annual fundraising event for the repair and upkeep of Suffolk churches.

Founded in 1973, the Suffolk Historic Churches Trust makes grants to churches and chapels of all denominations towards the repairs, improvements and restoration of our beautiful Suffolk churches.

I would be very grateful for any donation that you can make to this very worthwhile cause. To donate to the Suffolk Historic Churches Trust, please visit my JustGiving page.
