The relay will start 12pm at York Castle and follow National Cycle Routes through Yorkshire, Teesside, County Durham and Newcastle, calling at the People’s Kitchen before heading to the finish at Birtley Golf Club some 24 hours or so later.

To make this event a success we need as many Club members, family and friends to help, either running a leg and cycling or supporting along the route. Also the aim is to raise as much money as possible towards this year’s chosen charity. See Spond for further information and updates. This year’s relay event is to raise funds for The People’s Kitchen, Newcastle. Checkout their website https://peopleskitchen.co.uk/about-us/ MAKING LIFE BETTER FOR VULNERABLE PEOPLE The ways our Friends are forced to live are incredibly hard. They might be sleeping rough, or recently placed in housing with no belongings. Many of them don’t have access to nutritious food or have no support system around them. The People’s Kitchen is their safe haven. We are a constant for people whose lives can be chaotic. We make life on the streets a little easier by sharing hot meals and packages of clothing, toiletries, food, mobile phones and sleeping bags. We work with services to enable people to move off the streets and then we provide food, furniture and bedding to our Friends when they move into their first home. We also offer friendship and professional services to improve mental wellbeing.
