Fundraising Challenges

If you are looking for your next cycling challenge why not turn your two wheels into a fundraising machine and help MCF support more prison trainees to gain useful skills. 

Become an MCF Fundraising star! 

Whether you’re cycling halfway around the world or cycling the Leeds-iverpool canal path, we’d love for you to use your adventure to support our work in prisons and the community. 

The money you raise will support both our trainees in the prison workshops learn new skills contributing to their rehabilitation and the vulnerable groups we support in our community workshops. The refurbished bikes and wheelchairs that come from the workshops will also benefit many more groups and individuals. 

It’s not just cycling activities you can use to support us! You could organise a quiz night, a coffee morning and cake sale, or even a sponsored silence, and turn all that fun into something which also gives back to the community. Check out the images below to get some inspiration from our past fundraisers all supporting MCF. 

We are a small charity and don't have a massive amount of physical resources available but we do have bags of enthusiasm to support whatever wonderful fundraising ideas you come up with. 

Whatever your ideas, please get in touch and together we can make the most out of your fundraising plans. Or why not set up a fundraising page and start raising money today!
