About this Event
Following our successful 'Walk a Marathon' fundraising challenge in 2025, Soul & Seed UK are pleased to invite you to join us for our next event; Pedal for Purpose
We are setting off on 2 routes around the beautiful Dorset countryside - either a leisurely 25km cycle or for those wanting to push themselves a bit further, join us for the full 100km! We anticipate the 25km route will take no longer than 2 hours, whilst the 100km route will likely be between 5-6 hours riding + stops for breaks / lunch.
-> 100km: meet at 8am for start at 8:30am
-> 25km: meet at 1pm for start at 1:30pm
NB both routes will start from Park Farm, Wanchard Lane, Charminster, DT2 9RP. There is plenty of parking on site.
Following the cycle, we are inviting all participants and their families to join us for a BBQ + music from 3:30pm at Park Farm to rest those sore calf muscles and enjoy some tasty food!
Donations on the day towards the cost of BBQ food would be much appreciated please.

The all important aim of the event is to fundraise for the life-changing work of Soul & Seed. (https://www.soulandseed.org.uk)
Soul & Seed is a non-governmental, non-profit organisation based in Thika, Kenya. In late 2022, one of Soul & Seed's founders Ollie, embarked on a transformative journey to this East African town, just northeast of Nairobi, that opened his eyes to the challenges many face in securing basic needs such as nutrition, healthcare, and sanitation. As Ollie had the opportunity to connect with individuals and families in need, he recognised that their struggles extended beyond the physical; they were deeply intertwined with trauma and poverty. This realisation inspired Ollie alongside members from the local Church, to create Soul & Seed—a foundation aimed at fostering not just physical support, but also spiritual transformation.
Each year, around 10 local families are chosen to participate in the Soul & Seed programme which involves:
- Forming relationships; our team spends time with families to listen to every person's needs. Together, we then start a process of support - walking with them through sickness, trauma and oppression
- Building Foundations; each family is provided with food for the duration of the programme and social health insurance for three years
- Nurturing Growth; counselling sessions enable a safe space to grow and share stories, building healthy relationships
- Mobilising Families; carefully sowing seeds to nurture family businesses, combining practical teachings with professional support to guide each family’s growth
- Discipleship; through relationships we wish to share the good news of Jesus and allow His word to change the hearts of this community
Every penny that you raise will be transferred directly to the Soul & Seed team out in Kenya to continue this empowering programme. So please, sign up to Pedal for Pupose in support of this wonderful charity...whilst having a great day too!
Thank you for your support.
