Welcome

This Trust was established in 1991 to raise and manage funds to help the restoration and repair of churches and chapels in Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire, and part of Barnet.

Our income comes from subscriptions, donations, fundraising and our annual "Bike 'n Hike" on the second Saturday of September when hundreds of churches in both counties are open for visits by sponsored riders and walkers. See more on the Bike 'n Hike page of this website.

We also distribute church grants from the Wixamtree Trust in Bedfordshire. 

Bike 'n Hike 2021

Once again we have had magnificent support from all who participated in the Bike 'n Hike on 11 September. The weather could not have been better on the day - sunny but not too hot for those cycling or tramping along bridleways. If you took part this year please send us your stories and photos to [email protected] 

Sponsorship funds are now coming in thick and fast from our Bike 'n Hike participants. It's not too late if you would like to make a donation to anyone you know who took part. 2020 raised a fantastic £112,800 - our best result so far and we hope 2021's effort will be as successful.
