The Salvation Army is a registered charity and church working in 117 countries worldwide and is one of the largest and most diverse providers of social welfare in the world. In the UK and Republic of Ireland this work includes more than 800 Salvation Army social service centres and community churches. We provide unconditional friendship, support and very practical help to people in crisis and need and work with children, older people, homeless people and those dealing with drug and/or alcohol addiction.

Ian Grimshaw's fundraising page
Hi, thanks for visiting my page. Through Virgin Money Giving, you can sponsor me and donations will be quickly processed and passed to charities. Virgin Money Giving is a not for profit organisation and will claim gift aid on a charity's behalf where the donor is eligible for this.
I will be Cycling from Norwich to London - a distance of 112 miles (assuming I don't get lost on the way and end up going further!)
Whilst I regularly cycle to work.... I rarely cycle more than 4 miles at a time... so this will be some challenge. I will try and do some training rides before the date (not long!) and will post updates here.
I'm hopeful that my employer (Hewlett Packard) will provide some pound for pound matching so there's an added incentive to donate.
I really appreciate all your support and thank you for any donations.
