A huge thank you to everyone who sponsored me for the cycle, it went very well with no punctures or mechanical issues. The total raised was just over £2,500 which will go towards continuing to our Dementia & Friendship Cafe’s into 2025 and maintaining the facility

To raise much needed funds for our Dementia & Friendship Cafe’s and facility, I’ll be cycling to Spain from Blue Bell Hill.

Starting August 4th, the route from Blue Bell Hill, will follow the Pilgrims Way towards Dover (50 miles) to get the ferry to Calais. From there, to the border between France and Spain in Hendaye on Thursday 8th August (750 miles).

Orpington Village Hall Charity Trust is a non-profit charity, that in addition to the original mandate from 1896 in being a facility for the welfare of the inhabitants of Orpington and surrounding areas, puts on the incredible Dementia & Friendship Cafe’s, led by Louise whose vision, energy and passion for such a wonderful cause makes it what it is.

Best,

Bobby, Trust Director
