On the 12th September there is a sponsored Bike’n Hike in support of Beds & Herts Historic Churches Trust. Have fun cycling or walking (or driving) to churches and chapels in your area and at the same time raised funds for your church or chapel. This year’s is 12th September.
The Bike’n Hike raises money through sponsorship and, by taking part, half the money you raise will go to church of your choice and the other half will go to the Beds and Herts Historic Churches Trust to offer grants for church repair projects. The historic buildings in our community need continual repair and maintenance.
Chalgrave Church has recently received a grant from the Trust to assist with repairing the chancel. Toddington St George’s has also had funding in recent years.
A Toddington parishioner has produced a road cycle route that visits many local churches from Toddington. Details of the ride route and more information about the Bike’n Hike are on the rides page. A number of the local walks pass many of our local churches. Using the list of churches on the Bike’n Hike page (select Dunstable, Ampthill or Luton) why not work out your own route.
If you do join up on the sponsorship pages, please name St George of England, Toddington or All Saints, Chalgrave as your choosing church so that these local churches will receive half of the sonship money. The other half of the sponsorship money is used by the Trust to assist churches in Beds and Herts.
