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.
