Jewson Credit Services staff in Glasgow have raised more than £1,700 for Ayr-based charity Whiteleys Retreat after cycling 313 kilometres as part of a day-long fundraising challenge.
The team completed the distance by taking turns on an exercise bike throughout the day. The challenge was organised to raise money for Whiteleys Retreat, which is based in Ayr and supports the charity’s work.
More donations expected
According to Whiteleys Retreat, the total raised is expected to increase. Supporters have been invited to contribute through the team’s online fundraising page, meaning the final amount may rise beyond the more than £1,700 already collected.
Whiteleys Retreat has thanked Jewson for its support. The fundraising effort links a Glasgow-based workplace team with the Ayr charity, which is now awaiting additional donations from supporters.
The challenge was completed by the Jewson staff team using a shared exercise bike rather than a single rider covering the full distance. By cycling 313 kilometres between them, the participants turned the activity into a collective fundraising effort for Whiteleys Retreat.
How to support the appeal
People who wish to support the fundraiser can donate through the team’s online fundraising page. Whiteleys Retreat said additional donations are expected, although the source material does not state a closing date for the appeal or give a final fundraising deadline.
