The 10^th and final Halow250 has raised £170,000 for halow project! This will provide vital funding for us to continue providing exceptional person-centred care to people 16+ with learning disabilities and autism.

The Halow250 is an annual fundraising charity bike ride in aid of halow project. Organised by 2Boats Events, more than 100 riders cycled an impressive 250 miles from London to France and then back to Guildford in just 48 hours. This year’s event took place from Friday 28 to Sunday 30 April, ending in a finale celebration at Clock Barn Hall in Godalming. Welcomed by friends, family, halow supporters, cyclists also enjoyed a glass of bubbly and delicious BBQ to celebrate. All the money raised goes to halow. Costs of the event met by a combination of rider fees and the generosity of the event sponsors.

halow project is so grateful for the years of support provided by everyone taking part in the Halow250, the event organisers, and the sponsors over the years. The epic cycling challenge has raised over £1million for our charity over 10 years – a spectacular total which has and will continue to help so many people with learning disabilities and autism fulfil their independence goals. However, all good things must come to an end, and it is time to welcome a new fundraising event. To get involved with our next fundraising challenge, keep an eye on halow project’s website and social media for exciting announcements.

Building Futures and A Reason To Get Up join the pedalling!

It was great to see some of the people we support also get involved. A few cycled the final mile (and a bit!) to cross the finish line with the other cyclists. Laura even joined her father Martin across the three days on a tandem bike! Building Futures and A Reason To Get Up took on their very own cycling challenge with the support of Wheels For All. The groups got together at Woking Sports Box with the aim of cycling 250 laps of the full-size track. They fantastically surpassed this goal and completed 537 laps! This is a total of 133.5 miles – over half the Halow250. They also used this as a fundraising opportunity, through both sponsorship forms and donations through JustGiving. So far, they have raised over £805, with more to come in. Well done everyone for your fantastic efforts and raising such a brilliant total!
