Bridport Round Table has teamed up with Bridport Ladies Circle in an attempt to ride 500 miles and raise money for local good causes.

Members hope to raise £5,000 and need the community's help through sponsorship to help raise their target.

A spokesman for Bridport Round Table said: "We have spent some months hibernating and planning for 2021 and 2022 - more events coming - but for now we are aiming to 'Ride 500 Miles' and all the money raised will go to local good causes, including the great idea of the Bridport Skate Park redevelopment and a few requests we have which we are wanting to help.

"The target is £5,000 - so sponsor just £10 to push us each mile.

"We will be attempting this on Saturday, May 22 with our 10-mile route, starting and finishing at Bucky Doo Square throughout the day - you can sponsor and support us there too.

"The response to our Christmas hamper campaign was overwhelming, which shows the fantastic community we have here. Please give generously so we can continue to support those who need it most."
