Warwick Conferences raised a total of £520 as part of its Cycle for Change initiative, which saw delegates and staff saddle up to cycle a mile all in the name of charity.
Having teamed up with the UK's largest bicycle retailer Halfords, would-be riders tackled the challenge on a Boardman race bike—which toured the conferencing venues and university campus on rollers—in order to raise all-important funds for Re-Cycle, a charity that sends unwanted bikes to Africa.
The charity enables people to travel to work and school, as well as allowing small-scale traders to reach customers further afield. The bikes can also be an invaluable resource for travelling health workers and provide access to training and employment, helping to improve lives in a sustainable way.
