Overview

Ride For Freedom’s SDG 8.7 aligned mission is to harness the universal appeal of cycling to raise awareness, educate and forge partnerships to end modern slavery, and to provide remedy to survivors. We do this because there are almost 50 million people worldwide enslaved and tens of thousands are exploited in the UK. Children, women and men. It is a heinous crime that needs to be eradicated. Ride For Freedom achieves its mission by creating and leading unique cycling challenge events and by partnering with high impact sports clubs, companies and aligned charities. The cycling challenges fundraise to support the development of Freewheel by Ride For Freedom, our remedial programme that empowers survivors of modern slavery to cycle. We do this by providing survivors with bikes, accessories and cycling training. The evidenced beneficial outcomes are that they gain additional independence and mobility, and improved mental and physical health and wellbeing. We welcome donations to support the development and delivery of Freewheel hubs regionally in the U.K. and globally.
