Tour d’Foundation

Colleagues across Foundation came together for our Tour de Foundation charity cycling challenge, working collectively to reach an ambitious 2,000-mile target. Whether cycling on stationary bikes in the office or out on the road, every mile was tracked through Strava and contributed to ExCo-led teams, creating a strong sense of teamwork and friendly competition.

The challenge saw an incredible response, with over 150 individual cycling sessions recorded and a collective total of 2,064.86 miles achieved. Alongside Foundation’s matched donation, the event raised £1,708 for Centrepoint, supporting young people experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

Congratulations to Team Chris Lomas, our 2026 Tour de Foundation champions, who led the leaderboard with an outstanding 919.73 miles. Special recognition also goes to our top fundraisers in PMO, Simon Creasey for the most miles cycled individually, and the 62 colleagues who made up Team Foundation for their outstanding team spirit.

Every mile cycled has helped make a meaningful difference, supporting Centrepoint’s vital work providing safe accommodation, mental health support and opportunities for young people to build brighter futures.
