We've pedalled with purpose, supporting civil servants

On Friday 22 August, over 200 colleagues came together throughout the day to celebrate the completion of our 60-mile Pedal with Purpose bike ride from Glasgow to Edinburgh. JP Marks CB, First Permanent Secretary of HMRC and our CEO Jonathan Freeman MBE, swapped boardrooms for their bike saddles, with every mile pedalled raising funds for colleagues in need.

Record-smashing fundraising total

Thanks to the extraordinary generosity from everyone, the ride has already raised over £5,000 smashing our target of £1,500.

Newton generously doubled every pound donated (up to £1,500) as well as given an additional gift of £1,000, taking our current total to an amazing £5,114. These funds will help us extend the vital support our Charity has provided 74,000 times last year. From mental health struggles and financial assistance to relationship issues, getting through grief, and coping with disability, we help people stay strong, whatever life brings.
