I am riding 500 miles over 4 days in July (10th – 13th) in the Bristol to Bordeaux Cycle Challenge 2024 to raise money for Props – a small Bristol-based charity which creates purposeful and rewarding employment opportunities for young people and adults with a disability.
To make this a reality, Props provides the skills, support and work opportunities that are currently not accessible for young people and adults who have learning disabilities.
Props Training Support Services provides the building blocks of work and life skills, while their Enterprises focus on creating tailored pathways to work opportunities, challenging perceptions and breaking down barriers for people who have disabilities in the workplace.
Props most recent enterprise was the opening of its new café, Crafted, on in Fishponds. More info can be found here https://www.propsbristol.org/who-we-are/about/
Rest assured that every single penny donated goes towards Props – all rider expenses are personally covered upfront.
The money raised directly helps create opportunities for Trainees like Farwa and Jamie to pursue their passions. Farwa is now cooking regularly in the Props enterprise kitchen, feeling huge pride that her bakes are now being sold on the high street! Jamie has flourished working in our Vassall Cafe and is now confidently serving customers and taking charge of cooking entire recipes without support!
I have been lucky enough to get to know a few trainees and to hear first-hand the difference your help can make to the quality their lives and those of their families. Be a part of their success – I know finances are tight at them moment, but every little helps. I have been training all winter, rain or shine (mostly rain!) and I am excited to take on the challenge.
THANK YOU 🙂
