Looking Back: Inspire Sussex’s vibrant summer 2024

Hosted at the Eastbourne East Sussex College track, the event united individuals of all abilities for a day of cycling, fun, and fundraising. Participants enthusiastically pedalled laps around the track, collectively aiming to reach the ambitious goal of 500 miles.

More than £2500 was raised and the event was a resounding success, with families, friends, and community members joining in the festivities. The joyful atmosphere was filled with laughter, music, and the sound of whirring bicycle wheels as everyone worked together to achieve the milestone.

The funds raised during the event will support two causes: enhancing the INSPIRE Sussex Social Hub to create an inclusive space for individuals with learning disabilities and enabling Eastbourne Wheels for All to purchase specially adapted cycles to promote accessibility.

The Inspire 4 All 500 Mile Challenge successfully met its fundraising goals and strengthened community spirit. Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to this fantastic success!
