A total of 22 members of the team and friends of the UK coffee company rode from Lincoln Cathedral to York Minster on Saturday (27th September) to help raise funds for the charity. The total £16,160 will be split equally between the two charities.
The event came as part of celebrations for Lincoln & York’s 20th birthday. Both directors, Simon Herring and James Sweeting, took part in the cycle which was an apt tribute to the coffee firm which they named after their respective home cities – the start and end point of the ride.
James Sweeting, director at Lincoln & York, commented: “A huge thank you to all of our generous customers, suppliers, friends, family and colleagues for their kind donations, we are overwhelmed by the support and did not expect to raise nearly as much.”
