PARISHIONERS will be putting on their walking shoes and getting on their bicycles as they join Ride and Stride this September.
The countrywide sponsored event sees people travel from church to church, raising money to support the nation’s historic buildings as they go, with participants visiting as many, or as few, of Berkshire’s many fine buildings as they wish.
Half the money raised goes to participants’ own church, and half goes to the Berkshire Historic Churches Trust.
The trust raises money to restore and rescue faith buildings across the nation, and awards thousands of pounds worth of grants each year.
Any Christian church can apply for financial help to maintain or improve their place of worship.
The date for Ride and Stride this year is Saturday 10th September.
