How We Got On at the CBRE Bike Ride

by Leave a Comment

We had an amazing day in the sunny Surrey Hills at the CBRE Bike Ride to raise money for MacMillan Cancer Support.

On 14th June 2023, we headed to the CBRE Bike Ride at Sandown Park Racecourse to cheer on our riders and set up the Regular Cleaning information stand.

Supporting MacMillan Cancer Support, this event is one of the World’s biggest property bike rides. It’s brilliant to see so many companies coming together to raise money and awareness for this amazing cause. Hundreds of property professionals took part in the day by cycling, fundraising or sponsoring the event. With talks, raffles and prizes being given out after the cycle, as well as refreshment trucks and freebies, everyone could get involved. The day was a real success, raising a huge amount for this amazing charity.

We set up our stand in the shade of the tent and prepared our freebies to give away. Our recyclable and reusable Bottle Made Blue water bottles were the perfect gift for the cyclists to take home from the event. The Made Blue Foundation donates 500 litres of clean drinking water to developing communities for every bottle purchased, providing great social value. We had 300 bottles to give away at the event which has an enormous impact to areas in need.

We were proud to have four cyclists representing Regular Cleaning by taking part in the event. They have raised an incredible £3,450 for Macmillan which is a huge achievement and will make a big difference! It’s great to see our colleagues demonstrating our company values and challenging themselves to Create Better Places. With three routes to choose from, this was no small feat for the riders in the warm June weather. Choosing from a 40km, 70km and 122km route, the cyclists faced a lengthy ride through the beautiful Surrey Hills.

A huge thank you to our Regular Cleaning cyclists that took part. It was fantastic to see Chris Cain, Gustavo Gallo, Darrell Taylor and Vergo’s Adam Obee volunteering to raise money for this cause!

We also had the support of some of our Service Partners which made such a difference to our fundraising. A huge thank you to our sponsors: Planet Mark, Vergo Pest Management, Wessex, Planteria, Simply Washrooms, FAB, Tailormade, Mayflower Washroom Solutions and Team Software by WorkWave for the generous donations.

Why we choose to work with Made Blue Foundation. A charity that generates clean water for communities in need through products and services.

Made Blue Foundation is a not-for-profit charitable organisation that works to generate clean drinking water for developing communities in need. They provide sustainable solutions that help to deliver their mission of providing clean drinking water for everyone. Made Blue invest in water projects in the countries most in need of clean water in a sustainable and entrepreneurial way, helping to create better places.

Regular Cleaning are joining The Great Property Bike Ride on 14th of June as official sponsors. We’ll be supporting our client CBRE to raise money for MacMillan Cancer Support.

We’ll be handing out some Made Blue Foundation bottles at the finish line to the cyclists taking part. These environmentally friendly bottles help put an end to packaged water and make refilling easier than ever before. Made from indestructible Tritan, they are clear, sturdy and unbreakable. Plus, they are recyclable, reusable and dishwasher safe, and that’s just the start .

For each bottle given out, Made Blue provides 500 liters of clean drinking water to a community in need. This equates to one child from a developing country having access to clean drinking water and hygiene for six months or more. This is such an amazing impact to see and supports our sustainable business strategy to create better places.

This is such a brilliant alternative to the usual throwaway plastic bottle. More than 4kg of plastic waste avoided and such a huge donation made per bottle. With 771,000,000 people globally without access to clean water, these water projects are so vital and make a real difference in people’s lives every day.

It’s brilliant to see organisations working together towards a better future, and we’re thrilled to be able to give these bottles out to the CBRE cyclists and have a positive social impact.
