Ride+Stride is the major annual fundraiser for Berkshire Churches Trust and all support continues to be much valued this year as churches face difficult financial circumstances.

Ride+Stride is a nationwide church-crawl where you can visit as many (or as few) churches as you like on the second Saturday in September between 10am and 6pm. You can walk, run, cycle, ride or drive, following your own route and enjoy visiting some of our county’s fabulous churches.

NOTE: All Saints’ will be open for tea and coffee and to see the beautiful church between 10am-midday. After this, sign in sheets will be available in the porch.

Sponsorship forms are available here or you and your supporters can donate via our GoodHub page here. Remember to state clearly which church you would like half of all the money you raise to be sent to (add an address or postcode – there are LOTS of St Mary’s!). The other half will go to the BHCT to help support other churches in need. 

Visit the website to see some suggested routes. 

Any Christian church can apply to the Trust for financial help to maintain or improve the church building. Each year the Trust awards thousands of pounds worth of grants. Ride+Stride is just one way in which the Trust raises money to help them. The money you raise helps to save historic churches, chapels and meeting houses for future generations by helping to fund urgent repairs and the installation of modern facilities.
