Charities
What do we raise money for?
Ride25 is run as a not-for-profit and exists to raise money for good causes. All the riders cover all their own costs, so every penny raised goes straight to good causes.
What we have raised so far
Pioneers and Founders fundraising, 2012 to 2025 — the cumulative total raised after each leg, standing at £2,054,000 by the end of Leg 14, with a forecast of another £350,000 on Leg 15.

And a local cause
A local charity, chosen each year
Alongside our two long-standing partners, we also raise money for a local charity, chosen each year depending on where in the world we are riding. It is one of the best parts of the ride: the money stays in the places we pass through, and wherever we can we visit the project and meet the people behind it.
Three ways to get involved
One
Raise or donate individually
Riders set up their own fundraising page on a platform such as Givestar and share it with friends, family and colleagues. If you are not riding, you can donate to a rider's page instead. You can either set up your own page or use the group one.
