Njinga's Santa Charity Cycle 2024
That time of year is fast approaching & the Unity Support Riders are busy planning the first of the festive events on our calender. The USR volunteers are proud to support to this charitable event again.

For the last 11 years, along with 100s of other cycling Santas, the Njinga's have cycled their 17 km route from Richmond, SW London to deliver gifts to the incredible children at Shooting Star Children's Hospice in Hampton who are suffering with life limiting illnesses.

It’s grown from humble beginnings 12 years ago to an annual must do activity on the Richmond Festive season calendar.

Since starting this journey with Shooting Star they have delivered nearly 6000 Christmas presents to the kids and raised tens of thousands of pounds for this fantastic charity.

The USRs will be supporting the charity during the planning stages, sharing our experience of route and event planning. We will also be out on the day providing on-road marshalling and support to the cyclists.

Update: Unfortunately, storm Darrah cancelled the cycle ride, but not the fun! Check out the photos in our Gallery...
