Dear fellow Churches Together members,
Ride+Stride has been a tremendous fund-raiser for churches and Shropshire Historic Churches Trust for many years.
Last year we raised nearly £40,000 which was divided between the supporting church and the Trust who gave grants to churches to assist with buildings, organ repairs, improvements in facilities, disability access to name a few.
This year it is on Saturday 13 September and participants find sponsors to support them on a journey to some of our beautiful Shropshire Churches which can be by foot, bicycle or car. We encourage churches to be open and to offer basic refreshments.
Please consider doing something yourself. Most churches have organisers who will explain the process but if not, please apply to the Web Manager of CTIS* who can provide them.
It would be lovely if we were able to raise over £40,000 this year. So many active churches need our help.
