Marco Polledri, General Manager at Radfield Home Care, is taking on an incredible 837 mile cycling challenge – the equivalent of Land’s End to John O’ Groats – to raise funds for us. Completing the journey from his living room on an exercise bike, he aims to finish in just 77 days. Keep pedaling, Marco! Everyone at York Carers Centre HQ is cheering you on!

York Carers Centre supporters Lisa and Kev Bainbridge, along with fundraiser Mick Burnett, hosted a Northern Soul charity night on Saturday 8 February 2025, raising an impressive £1,245.
