If you are still feeling the after-effects of the Christmas period, or like many people you made a New Year’s resolution to get fitter in 2015 and lack the motivation to get started, then perhaps you need a helping hand.

It’s a common problem at this time of year but one which is easy to overcome by getting together with your colleagues, family or friends to do something amazing like take part in a cycle challenge for charity.

As a charity we have joined together with www.cycleforcharity.com and as a result we are delighted to be able to provide an opportunity for people to cycle in some of the biggest and most exciting events around whilst raising funds which will help the Electrical Industries Charity continue to support people in the electrical industry when they need it most.

One of the many challenges on offer is the UK Coast to Coast where you can conquer the breadth of Britain by bike. Starting with your rear wheels in the Irish Sea, this challenge encompasses some of the best scenery which Britain has to offer from the stunning mountains of the Lake District to the beautiful open moors of the Northern Pennines.

For those who prefer a city tour there is the opportunity to conquer the capital in the Ride London 100 and of course there is the iconic cycle from Land’s End to John O’Groats which would be a great achievement for anyone in 2015.

Our mission is to look after all people from the electrical, electronics and energy industries whenever they or their families need help with life’s challenges.

We provide support in a number of ways which include financial assistance for a wide variety of needs from the everyday to the exceptional as well as offering independent advice and information on numerous issues from family or relationship problems through to debt advice, ill health and disability.

By signing up to a Charity Cycle Challenge you will be doing your bit to ensure that we can continue to provide the peace of mind that you and your colleagues in the industry will be looked after in times of need. So go on! Sign up today and give yourself something amazing to aim for in 2015.
