Why do we have Fundraising Targets?
Cycling in London 2 Brighton for Centrepoint is an incredible way to support young people facing homelessness. Each charity place costs us around £150, and we lose up to 40% of participants before race day due to injury or changes in plans, so every spot really counts.
Our fundraising targets are set to cover the cost of your place and ensure your efforts make a real impact — from providing safe accommodation to helping young people into education, work, and a brighter future.
We know life happens and understand that sometimes injuries cannot be helped . If you can’t take part, please let us know two months before so we can offer your place to someone else.
Here's what our 2025 cyclists had to say:
Team Selfridges were proud to wear the Centrepoint colours on the amazing London to Brighton ride. Excitement built up week by week as we fundraised and shared stories internally and on social media on our training progress. It's created a great buzz and a lot of positive energy in the office and completing that 54 mile ride along the beachfront was magical. Several team members remarked that the cycling event has set them off on their own fitness journeys, which is a great bonus" - Vanessa (Part of our Selfridges Cycling team)
