In March 2025, Make A Change Foundation partnered with Shree Swaminarayan Temple Willesden (Charity Registration No. 266260) to organise the inspiring India Bike Ride 2025 (IBR 2025) — a charitable cycling challenge across India dedicated to supporting vital medical care for children and adults in need.
Our Mission
India Bike Ride 2025 was launched to raise funds for medical camps providing artificial limbs for both children and adults, as well as life-saving heart surgeries for children.
Every kilometre cycled by our participants represented hope, healing, and the promise of a better future.
Funds Raised
Thanks to the incredible dedication of our riders, supporters, and donors:
- Total funds raised: c£257,000
- Net proceeds after event costs: c£242,000
- 100% of the net proceeds are earmarked for the two selected beneficiary charities.
Your generosity ensures that contributions directly support transformative medical interventions.
