Croyde Bay manager takes on 100km cycle in aid of There for You
On 28 August, Lewis Singletary will be cycling 100km around North Devon in aid of UNISON’s charity, There for You.
“I’ve recently joined UNISON as a general manager for Croyde Bay, and I’ve learnt a lot about how integral There for You is for members,” he says.
“The ride is a real challenge – it has 1,600 meters of elevation. But I’m hoping to raise as much money as I can to help people less fortunate that me.
“We have 1.3 million members. If everyone gave a pound or 50p, I could make a serious donation.”
There for You supported 2,265 members in 2024, with £857,193 awarded in financial support. It is a vital resource to members who are experiencing financial and emotional difficulties.
