Ghent to Amsterdam Charity Bike Ride 2026
Challenge yourself, connect with colleagues, give back
Since its launch during Sucden Financial's 50th anniversary year, our annual Charity Bike Ride has brought together clients, partners, employees, and suppliers to take on a shared challenge while making a genuine difference to local communities.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of everyone involved, we have raised almost £55,000 since the event began, including nearly £25,000 in 2025 alone. As part of the East End Community Foundation's Life Chances Campaign, which we joined in 2025, these funds have helped support:
- 1,000 children and young people to improve their mental health and wellbeing
- 112 young people to gain vocational qualifications
- 70 young people to access employment opportunities
- 211 older people to secure £994,411 in benefits, helping lift them out of poverty
The support of our sponsors and employees makes this impact possible. Their contributions enable community partners to expand their services, reach more people, and deliver practical support where it is needed most across East London.
Beyond fundraising, the ride provides a valuable opportunity to build new connections, strengthen relationships with colleagues, clients, and partners, and demonstrate our shared commitment to creating positive social impact.
We would like to thank all our sponsors and riders for their support of this year's event. If you are unable to participate in the ride but would still like to contribute, a range of alternative sponsorship opportunities is available. Please get in touch to learn more.
Good luck to all of our riders, we look forward to another successful and inspiring event!
