What is the ride in aid of?
The beneficial road to health cycle event is a fundraising event for the following two charities:
The Beneficial Foundation in Porstmouth who help the disadvantaged in the Portsmouth area. People are helped in a variety of ways with the common thread being training. Giving someone self respect and hope are priceless commodities.
If you would like to donate to this charity for the event, Donate Now or you can contact The Beneficial Foundation of Portsmouth on (+44) 023 9273 3822 today to donate over the phone.
St. Margaret’s Hospice provides free specialist care for those living across the county with a life-limiting illness. When time is precious, two things become important to patients and their families: their quality of life and the enjoyment of the time that is left. St. Margaret’s strives to make this a reality through the range of services it provides.
