Three Knight Property Group directors are preparing to cycle 50 miles through London to raise money for The King’s Trust as the charity marks its 50th anniversary.

James Barrack, Howard Crawshaw and Gordon Middleton will take part in the Palace to Palace Cycle Challenge on Sunday 4 October.

The new 50-mile route will start on The Mall before taking riders past Buckingham Palace, through London and into the surrounding countryside, finishing at Battersea Park.

The event forms part of celebrations marking 50 years of The King’s Trust, formerly The Prince’s Trust, which supports young people across the UK.

Training is already under way for the Knight Property Group team, which is encouraging colleagues, clients, contacts and friends to support its fundraising effort.

James Barrack, founder and chairman of Knight Property Group, said: “We are well into our training now as we prepare for the event and the miles are certainly starting to add up!

“A huge thank you to everyone who has sponsored us so far. Every pound raised will make a real difference in helping The King’s Trust support young people and transform futures.”

Money raised through the Palace to Palace challenge will support the charity’s work helping young people develop the confidence, skills and resilience to move into employment and achieve their potential.
