Lloyds Banking Group aims to raise over £2 million per year for Mental Health UK to provide much needed support to the millions of people who are struggling with both their mental health and financial well-being. The team of intrepid yet largely inexperienced riders will raise funds for Mental Health UK by taking part in the Worcestershire Beacon of Hope cycle challenge – a 45 mile long journey from Birmingham to the Worcestershire Beacon, on Saturday 12th August.

Jose Miguel Maldonado, a 20 year old intern said: “I decided to take part in this challenge for Mental Health UK because I am aware of the growing problem of poor mental health and the impact it is having on people’s lives. It’s great to know that every mile I cycle will make a difference to our local community and Help Britain Prosper.”
