The Ripon Rotary Club is thrilled to announce that Specsavers will be the Lead Sponsor for the 2026 Ripon Rotary Charity Bike Ride, set to take place on Saturday, 9 May 2026.
This exciting partnership brings together two organisations committed to community wellbeing, accessibility, and making a difference. With Specsavers’ generous support, the 2026 ride promises to be bigger, bolder, and more inclusive than ever before.
“We’re absolutely delighted to welcome Specsavers as our lead sponsor,” said the event organiser and Rotary Club member. “Their support will help us enhance the rider experience, increase fundraising for local causes, and ensure the event remains a highlight of Ripon’s community calendar.”
The 2025 ride raised over £11,000 for local charities, and with Specsavers’ backing once more, the 2026 edition aims to surpass that milestone.
Specsavers, a household name in eye and hearing care, shares Rotary’s values of service and community impact. Their sponsorship will help fund event logistics, safety measures, and promotional efforts to attract even more riders and supporters.
“We are proud to support the Ripon Rotary Charity Bike Ride,” said a Specsavers spokesperson. “It’s a fantastic event that brings people together for a great cause, and we’re excited to be part of it.”
Registration for the 2026 ride opens on January 1st. Riders of all ages (from 18 years) and abilities are encouraged to take part in this scenic and spirited event.
