Making It All Possible
Since we set up Ride Mendips, we have had some amazing support and donations from individuals, local companies, charity funds and from two amazing Cheddar Extravaganza events. If you can’t get involved directly, but would like to support our efforts, we would really appreciate your help to keep things running.
Ride Mendips are set up as a charity and can accept donations directly via our PayPal account. Please follow the link below to make an individual donation.
Ride Mendips are registered as a charity with Amazon Smile. If you register with amazon smile, and select Ride Mendips, at no cost to you, Amazon will donate a small amount of your spend to us.
