We’re proud to announce that the Ripon Rotary Charity Bike Ride, held on Saturday 10th May 2025, raised an outstanding £11,000 in support of local charities.

This achievement was celebrated at a Sponsores Lunch on Tuesday 17th June 2025, where cheques were formally presented to our chosen beneficiaries:

  • Yorkshire Air Ambulance
  • Saint Michael’s Hospice
  • Dementia Forward
  • Alongside other Rotary-supported initiatives

With 253 riders taking part in the scenic ride through the Vale of York, the event was a joyful blend of community spirit, fundraising, and fun. The lunch provided a wonderful opportunity to thank our sponsors, volunteers, and charity partners for their continued support and dedication.

We’re already looking ahead to next year’s ride on Saturday 9th May 2026—and we hope to welcome even more riders and supporters to help us make an even greater impact.

Warm thanks from all of us at

Ripon Rotary Club
