Glasgow to Edinburgh Charity Bike Ride

By Jonathan Freeman

Your donation will make a difference

JP Marks CB, First Permanent Secretary and Chief Executive of HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and Jonathan Freeman MBE, CEO of the Charity for Civil Servants are taking on the challenge to cycle from Glasgow to Edinburgh. They will be raising vital funds for the Charity for Civil Servants.

We are thrilled to say that Newton have kindly agreed to match all donations up to £1,500 meaning your support will go even further! (newtonimpact.com).

The Charity for Civil Servants supports current, former and retired civil servants when they face tough times.From mental health struggles and financial assistance to relationship issues, getting through grief, and coping with disability, they’re here to help people stay strong, whatever life brings.

"When we didn't know who to turn to, the Charity was our life raft. We grabbed onto it when we felt like we didn't have anything to hold onto. It gave us answers to a question when we didn't have the answer ourselves... and it was so important to have that support at the time."
Graham

They’ve been there for civil servants for nearly 140 years, providing an umbrella of support when it’s needed most and so we're fundraising to make sure they can be there for future generations too.
