A team of Greggs Directors and staff have completed a 900 mile bakery bike ride, raising a whopping £76,000 for BBC Children in Need and Greggs Breakfast Clubs.
The Great Bakery Bike Ride
A team of Greggs staff have completed a mammoth 900 mile relay around the UK, visiting every Greggs bakery, raising a fantastic £76,000 for BBC Children in Need and our Greggs Breakfast Clubs.
The ten day ride began at our Treforest bakery, South Wales, on Thursday 17th June, where the team of cyclists from Greggs were joined by Olympic Gold Medallist Daley Thompson.
Ten days later the team crossed the finish line at our Gosforth bakery in Newcastle, back to where Greggs began 70 years ago as John Gregg delivered yeast and homemade cakes from his bike!
The money raised:
We raised:
· £51,000 from sponsorship and fundraising in our shops, bakeries and our Justgiving website
· £25,000 donated by Greggs to meet the second year costs of the new breakfast clubs that we’ll be able to open.
