Employees from the Skanska’s facilities management business are taking part in a twelve-hour cycling event to raise money for the Edinburgh-based charity the Social Bite Fund today.
The Social Bite Fund helps homeless people, and runs a number of food shops in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen. The organisation also offers a range of employment and training opportunities for vulnerable or homeless people.
Twenty people from Skanska will take part on Friday (June 16) between 7.00am and 7.00pm. The idea is that while individuals cycle for smaller periods of time, someone will always be cycling during the marathon 12- hour stretch.
The event will take place at The Fountain spin studio in Eurocentral, Glasgow. A number of employees from the Midlothian and Edinburgh areas are also participating in related activities in those areas.
The event has been organised by Skanska’s Susan Weir, who said: “We hope to raise as much as possible for the Social Bite Fund. It’ll be exhausting, but worth it, in order to help the homeless.”
