Concept Building Services (Southern) Ltd is proud to have been the headline sponsor for the annual Palace for Life charity bike ride, held over the Easter weekend. This year’s event was a true testament to community spirit and determination, with a record-breaking turnout and funds raised for young people across South London.
The challenge, which took place over two days — Good Friday and Saturday — saw 45 cyclists brave the 120-mile journey from Bournemouth’s Vitality Stadium to Selhurst Park. The participants, including fans, cyclists, and even Concept’s very own Director, James Perry, and Commercial Manager, Ian Dixon, pushed through sore legs and punctures, united by their dedication to the cause.
A Journey for a Cause
The event raised nearly £50,000 in vital funds for the Palace for Life Foundation, an organisation that empowers young people in South London by providing opportunities to help them get into work, education, and training. The money raised will go a long way in supporting local youth, helping them build brighter futures through access to new opportunities.
As headline sponsors, Concept Building Services was honoured to play a part in this incredible achievement. The event culminated in an emotional and celebratory welcome around Selhurst Park, where cyclists were greeted with cheers and applause from fans, marking a special moment in the partnership between Concept and Palace for Life.
The Impact of Community Spirit
“We’re incredibly proud to support such an inspiring cause,” said James Perry, Director at Concept Building Services. “The determination and teamwork displayed by all participants were truly outstanding. Not only did they raise a remarkable amount of money, but they also created an unforgettable experience that showcases the power of community.”
The support from Concept’s team, along with the tireless efforts of everyone involved, has made this charity ride the largest and most successful yet. Thanks to the commitment of the riders, the Palace for Life Foundation can continue to deliver life-changing programs for young people in South London.
A Special Thank You
A big thank you to the Palace for Life Foundation for letting Concept be part of this incredible event. Their ongoing commitment to making a positive impact on young people’s lives aligns perfectly with Concept’s values of community, support, and growth.
As the total raised continues to climb, Concept looks forward to further supporting initiatives that make a real difference. We are excited to see the impact this fundraising will have on the lives of young South Londoners.
