Solo 24-hour cycle raises £5k+
A huge thank you to school dad and governor Michael Birnie, who on 18 July completed an immense personal challenge: a 24-hour bike ride in aid of the Big Build. Setting off from the school gates at 9am, Michael rode a continuous 11-km local loop through Hatherop, Fairford, Quenington and Coln St Aldwyns—over and over again—covering an astonishing 352 miles in total. He received a hero’s welcome on his return and has raised well over £5,000 for the project. Well done, Michael!

£50,000 donation keeps Phase 1&2 plans on track
Big Build supporters have been bowled over by the extraordinary generosity of the John Armitage Charitable Trust, which has donated an astonishing £50,000 to the campaign. The Trust is a charitable foundation committed to "helping people help themselves". Its support for the community-led Big Build will certainly do just that, putting us within touching distance of reaching the target for Phases 1 & 2.
