This year, the money raised by the SACA Charity Bike Ride 2018 will be used to fund Birmingham Children’s Hospital – who are raising funds to equip ambulances used to ferry children who are in intensive care.
Last year, with the relentless effort from riders, we raised a staggering £30,000 for the WellChild.
Every year a children’s charity is selected as the ride’s beneficiary. Over the last 32 years, the ride has raised in excess of £510,000 in aid of different children’s charity groups. Previous beneficiaries include Barnardo’s, NSPCC, Capital FM’s Help a London Child Appeal. Ealing Hospital’s Playground in the Sky Appeal. Contact a Family, dEBra, Down syndrome Research Foundation, Whizz Kidz , Richard House , SCOPE, Children with Leukemia, WellChild, Rainbow Trust and Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
