A 45 km group ride around London in the Easter holidays 2027. Each rider raises £150 a month in new monthly support for the people who run youth work.

Here For Youth trains, coaches and accredits the people who run youth work in mosques and community spaces. 1,000 Behind Youth aims for 1,000 people giving £10 a month, so that support doesn’t stop when one grant ends.
Riding is one way in. You ride; the people who believe in you back you with a small monthly gift. The ride lasts a day. The gifts keep going.
Fifteen people giving £10 a month is one way to reach your target. Any mix of amounts works.
This is an example, not money raised. Only confirmed, active monthly gifts count towards a rider’s progress.
A loop that passes the youth projects and partner hubs your supporters’ gifts make stronger. We ride on Cycleway 3 along the river, the Lea Valley path and Cycle Superhighway 1. Because it’s a loop, there’s no coach home.
About 45 km in total. Stops are being agreed with the hubs that will host them, and we’ll publish the final route before registration opens.
Tell us you’d like to ride. It takes a minute and commits you to nothing. We’re launching the ride at the Muslim Youth Engagement Awards on 7 November.
When registration opens, confirm your place and pay the fee. Riders raising for Here For Youth get a welcome pack and their own rider page to share.
Use the holidays to sort out your bike, get it checked, and start telling your people why you’re riding.
Each weekend, cycle to a mosque further from home for a prayer of your choice. It builds your fitness and gives you a story to share. Aim to reach £100 a month in support by the end of Ramadan.
We ride the loop together. Post updates as you go, and we’ll send you prompts through the day.
Thank your supporters and bring in the last £50 a month while the story is still fresh.
Raise £150 a month in new support for 1,000 Behind Youth. We’ll back you all the way:
Mosques, youth clubs and hubs, in London or further afield, are welcome to ride with us and raise money for their own youth work. It’s a simple registration, and we won’t ask you to raise for Here For Youth.
Personal stories, shared purpose and a lasting monthly commitment.
Every rider gets their own page to share their story. They’ll appear here once riders sign up.
Ride with friends, colleagues or your community. A team’s progress adds up the confirmed monthly gifts made through its riders, with each gift counted once.
Not yet. We’re planning for the Easter school holidays 2027. The exact date, final route and fee will be confirmed before registration opens. Registering your interest now doesn’t commit you to anything.
It’s about 45 km at a group pace, mostly on cycleways, with stops along the way. If you can ride for an hour today, you have the winter and the Ramadan Rides to build up to it.
New monthly gifts from your supporters, counted once the first payment has gone through. Any mix works: 15 people at £10, 30 people at £5, or a few larger gifts.
That’s fine. We’ll share what to look for in a good second-hand hybrid or road bike, where to find one, and how to get it checked before you ride.
Yes. Young people can join us for the final leg, with parental consent and extra support on the road.
Yes. Mosques, youth clubs and hubs from anywhere are welcome to ride with us on the day and raise money for their own youth work.
Into training, coaching and accreditation for the youth workers, coaches and volunteers who run youth work in mosques and community spaces. Monthly gifts mean that support doesn’t stop when one grant ends.
Register your interest and we’ll send you the confirmed date, route and rider pack as soon as they’re ready.
This registers your interest only. It isn’t a place on the ride, and nothing is charged.
A little, regularly. A lot, together.
Your monthly gift backs the training, coaching and support that make better local youth work possible.
The ambition. Built one monthly gift at a time.
