Prolift handling are delighted to sponsor the 6th Collen Charity Cycle event 2021. We are immensely proud to sponsor and contribute to this event as funds raised will be supporting the local charities and will also generate positive energy for those who will participate in this annual cycling event from Collen Construction.
About the Event:
Collen has a long and proud tradition of supporting the local community and is delighted to get involved in several projects which help raise awareness and funds for local charities. Over the last 5 years, Collen Charity Cycle has been a great success in contributing towards employee wellbeing and raising funds in support of the local communities across which Collen operates.
Collen Charity Cycle ‘Around the World in 8 Days’
The Covid-19 pandemic has touched all our lives and has called on a united international response to fight the spread of the virus. Collen’s charity cycle initiative is symbolic, in that no matter the challenge we will join together – while apart – calling on solidarity and community action as we begin to rebuild and create a more healthier and resilient society together. Collen employees, friends, family, clients, subcontractors like and extended supply chain, will collectively cycle the around the world, covering a combined distance of 40,075km in 8 days.
In recent years cycling has become more than a leisure activity and is now a travel plan promoting alternative forms of transport in support of mental health, wellbeing and environmental sustainability. This event emphasises the importance of healthy choices and raises awareness of the benefits physical activity has towards mental health and well-being, by promoting cycling to work and to local amenities for one week, encouraging cycling as a daily activity over the course of 8 days.
