Philip Philippou completes 560-mile charity bike ride to support our Foundation πŸš΄β€β™‚οΈ

We are proud to share that Philip Philippou, the Chairman of Stef & Philips Ltd, has successfully completed his incredible 560-mile charity bike ride around Cyprus – all in support of the Stef & Philips Foundation’s 2nd birthday, and to raise funds for the work we do.

What an achievement! With the support of almost 100 donors, Philip raised over Β£32,000 – and 100% of it will go directly to those in need. These funds will help provide essentials like food, clothing, and household items, and fund community projects that promote social inclusion and welfare.

Philip said:

“In London alone, over 75,000 households and 90,000 children are living in temporary accommodation. The cost of living and housing crisis have all taken their toll, and these numbers are now the highest in history. There are everyday things that most of us take for granted – a warm meal, a safe place to sleep, basic household items – that these families often go without. The team at the Foundation has been working tirelessly over the last 2 years to support people across all London boroughs, but there is still so much more to be done.”

β€œIt was a tough 560 miles but knowing that every donation would bring even a little comfort and hope to someone in need kept me going. The ride has been a humbling reminder of why the Foundation’s work matters so much, and why we must keep pushing to help as many people as possible. It’s been great to see the support from friends, family, and donors β€” I feel lucky to have been able to do something meaningful in this way.”

We couldn’t be prouder of Philip, and even more grateful to everyone who donated, shared, and cheered him along the way. Philip’s determination and dedication were inspiring to watch, and your generosity has made a real difference in people’s lives.

From Philip and all of us at the Foundation: thank you for standing with us! πŸ™Œ
