Get ready to Pedal for Purpose! 🚴♂️
Our amazing staff at Bassetts are gearing up for a huge challenge this August: a 500KM, three-day charity cycle across Northern Ireland, connecting nine of our branches.
The event will take place from 20th to 22nd August and aims to raise £30,000 for three vital local charities:
- NI Children’s Hospice (Bassetts’ Charity of the Year)
- Macmillan Cancer Support (Mandeville Unit)
- NI Chest, Heart & Stroke
The cycle is being led by a team of local cycling enthusiasts from Armagh, including Bassetts’ Operations Manager Colin Warnock, who will be joined by staff, supporters, and customers taking part in legs of the journey.
The route will take cyclists across Northern Ireland, stopping at nine Bassetts branches in:
Newry, Downpatrick, Belfast East, Lisburn, Clady, Coleraine, Derry, Omagh, Enniskillen, Dungannon and Portadown.
Our Operations Manager, Colin Warnock, said:
“Pedal for Purpose is more than just a cycle, it’s about coming together as a company and a community to support causes that really matter. We’re proud to be fundraising for charities that do vital work across Northern Ireland, and it’s been fantastic to see the enthusiasm from our staff and branches. Whether it’s on the bike, running local events or simply spreading the word, it’s a team effort, and one I’m incredibly proud to be part of.”
Our branches will be hosting their own fundraising events, from BBQs and raffles to spin-a-thons, helping to drive donations and connect with customers and local communities.
