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!

    Refurbished bikes and wheelchairs

    Refurbished bikes and wheelchairs are donated, via partner organisations, to people in need in the UK and overseas. A proportion of the bikes are sold through community bikerys or via the online shop to raise funds for the charity.

  • What we do

    What we do

    Margaret Carey Foundation (MCF) promotes restorative justice in prisons. We set up and support prison workshops that provide trainees with meaningful work. We collect unused and unwanted bicycles and wheelchairs and bring them to the workshops for restoration and recycling. Once refurbished, all the wheelchairs and a proportion of the bikes are donated to people in need in the UK and overseas.
