The Challenge
We’ll be taking over our Development Kitchen on Thursday 17th November with three static bikes, following a virtual route around East Anglian food and drink producers. Our goal is to get every member of Thomas Ridley involved in this challenge (even if just for ten minutes of cycling), making it a real team effort. The route will follow 20 of the fantastic regional suppliers that we stock and supply into East of England Co-Op stores, to create a fun route and to help highlight how we support small, local producers.
Our Target
We’d like to raise at least £3,000 via our Just Giving page, which will be match funded (up to £5,000) by our independent charity, the Ridley Godfrey Foundation. Our ultimate goal is to try and raise a total of £10,000, which will help people working in the industry to access vital services if they’re struggling with any work-related, health or personal issues affecting their well-being.
