Fundraising

As a charity ESCAPE Support Group participates in a huge range of fundraising events, ranging from coffee mornings & lunches to taking part in large locally organised events.

These events are either organised by the charity, by individual members or by family associates

Well done and congratulations to our team of 50/50 cyclists!

On what turned out to be a lovely day, you took part in either the 10 mile ride or the accessible route done especially for us. Malcolm and Daniel Goss were the first ESCAPEee’s to cross the line in around 45 mins!
