Bike ‘n Hike

The Beds. & Herts. Historic Churches Trust runs this event on the second Saturday of September each year with the aim of raising money both for the Trust and for the participating churches, with half of the sponsorship money going to each.

The Bike ’n Hike is the most important fundraiser for the Trust and key to enabling it to continue to give grants to churches and chapels for the care and repair of their buildings, which are so important in the lives of our towns and villages. The Trust is non-denominational and our grants are available to any place of public Christian worship of whatever denomination or age. The church’s share of the money raised can be used for any of the church’s activities, not just building projects.

It is open to everyone to take part, whether churchgoer or not, who is interested in supporting our heritage of church buildings. Often churches are open for the event which normally have to be kept locked, so it is a great opportunity for a visit. Plan your own route – a personal challenge worthy of sponsorship – and ask your friends, relatives and colleagues to sponsor you.
