UKBristol Bears Community Foundation is a registered charity that works with over 8,000 people from the local community every year, helping them to unlock their potential through the power of sport.
This June, Xledger is raising money through a 350mile cycle “Finish Line Fundraiser” to support the Foundation’s Bear in Mind and Bright Sparks schemes to support young people from deprived areas deal with challenges of the modern world.
Bear in Mind is a health and wellbeing programme aimed at equipping girls in secondary education with the tools to build self-confidence and to cope with the wider issues faced by young women across modern society today. Since 2021, Xledger has been inviting these groups to its offices, to hear from some of the employees about their career journeys. The ups, downs, challenges, and advice on how to succeed and overcome adversity.
Bear in Mind was born out of the success of another Foundation project, Bright Sparks, which similarly works with groups of young people in the most deprived areas of Bristol, to build their confidence and increase aspirations. These young people are identified as being at risk from issues such as permanent exclusion, anti-social behaviour and potential into the criminal justice system.
We are extremely passionate about the Foundation’s work and their dedication to young people across the city. We get involved in mentoring, as well as inviting them to our vibrant offices, which really inspires them to consider the opportunities available to them outside the classroom in the working world.
Cycling 350 miles in five days is a huge challenge, one which the Xledger team are training hard for in anticipation of the get-go on Monday 12th June. Starting here in Bristol, the route will cover:
DAY ONE: Bristol – Hereford (Approx. 70 miles)
DAY TWO: Hereford – near Oxford (Approx. 78 miles)
DAY THREE: near Oxford – Southampton (Approx. 79 miles)
DAY FOUR: Southampton – Weston Super Mare (Approx. 91 – 100 miles)
DAY FIVE: Weston Super Mare – Keynsham – Ashton Gate (Approx. 36 miles)
Arriving back into Bristol on the 16th, we will be there to celebrate their successes and present the amount raised to the Foundation.
Through this fundraiser, we can support more schools in accessing these programmes, and ensure a brighter, better future for the city’s younger generation.
