CYCLE for SWFT is a one day community cycling challenge in support of SWFT NHS Charity, taking place on Thursday 21st May 2026 between 8am and 8pm. This year is special year for us. It marks 30 years that SWFT Charity has been supporting our local NHS services in South Warwickshire, and we want this challenge to help us continue our work for the next 30!

Static bikes will be set up at three of our hospital sites:

• Warwick Hospital

• Leamington Spa Hospital

• Stratford-upon-Avon Hospital

Participants can also choose to take part at participating local gym sites. Riders are invited to take on the challenge by cycling on our bikes, choosing how long you will cycle for (with the minimum length of time to choose being 30 minutes) and to raise a minimum of 30 GBP.

This challenge is designed to be inclusive and accessible, allowing participants of all abilities to get involved, whether you are a regular cyclist or completely new to it.

How It Works

• Sign up to CYCLE for SWFT (free to register!)

• Choose where you’ll take part (hospital site or participating gym). Make sure to select Hospital Registration if you would like to take part at one of the hospitals, or Gym Registration if you’d prefer to take part at a participating gym

• Decide how long you’ll ride for

• Turn up on the day and get cycling!

Why Take Part? Funds raised through CYCLE for SWFT will help SWFT Charity enhance patient care and staff wellbeing across local NHS services, funding projects and vital equipment that go above and beyond NHS provision.
