sIKH HELPLINE WEST BROM LOOP BIKERIDE 29TH SEPT 24
With Guru’s grace we are now looking forward to holding our 2024 West Bromwich Local Family Bike Ride for the Sikh Helpline 2024. The previous years have proved to be a huge success, not only bringing the community together, promoting health and well being but also fund raising for the Sikh Helpline. The cyclists will set off on their 17 mile bike ride journey , stopping at 12 local Sikh Gurdwaras and Mr Singhs who are also engaging in this worthy cause. “Every Call Matters; that missed call may have been their only chance to make a call”
The Sikh Helpline continues to receive a high volume of nationwide calls, issues ranging from grooming, domestic abuse through to racism and substance addiction and more recently an increase in call relating to suicides
The Sikh Helpline Charity Bike Ride is an annual event that helps us to raise awareness of issues facing the community as well as the assistance that we can offer. It is also an important opportunity for us to raise much-needed funds to operate all our programmes.
Interest in The Charity Bike Ride has been mushrooming from year to year and many individuals and organisations/sponsors have come forward to contribute toward the event. We are forever grateful to them as well as the growing number of participants who not only make it possible but also tremendously fun! Thank you, all! Join us for this years bikeride
“We need the support of the local communities to help us keep up with the increasing demand of calls. Every call matters and a missed call may be the only attempt someone makes for help. It is crucial that every call is answered.” Giani Sukha Singh
