Pedalling To Pubs charity tops £100,000
Pedalling To Pubs raises funds for the Licensed Trade Charity and Only A Pavement Away.
A charity pub bike ride which raises funds for Licensed Trade Charity (LTC) and Only A Pavement Away has gone passed the £100,000 mark.
Pedalling To Pubs 2025 saw hospitality industry leaders cross the finish line of their 220km sponsored bike ride across the Lake District.
From 5 to 7 June, the 60 riders cycled from Penrith to Cockermouth to Carlise and back to raise vital funds for the hospitality charities. With the fundraising total now standing at over £100,000, Pedalling To Pubs 2025 has surpassed last year’s record of £85,000.
The funds raised allow both charities to support people entering, currently employed in, or leaving the hospitality sector.
"This year’s ride was very challenging with steep, rolling hills and torrential rain, but seeing the fundraising total exceed a phenomenal £100,000 makes it all worth it," says Steve Alton, lead rider and CEO at the BII. "Thank you to everyone who took part and to everyone who has donated – your incredible support allows these two charities to continue helping people in the hospitality industry who need it most. It’s not too late to contribute, so if you are able, we would be beyond grateful for any further donations."
"Completing this year’s Pedalling To Pubs felt indescribable, but seeing the fundraising total surpass £100,000 is on another level," adds Chris Welham, CEO of the LTC. "On behalf of the LTC, I want to thank everyone who has supported this year’s ride. The funds enable us to continue providing vital health and wellbeing support, practical advice, and financial assistance for people in the licensed hospitality community."
