Join us for our biggest fundraising challenge yet!
This year, Just Love turns ten years old. That's ten years of supporting students and alumni in their whole-life, lifelong, pursuit of Jesus’ justice!
To mark our birthday, and to ensure that we see many happy returns, we’re embarking on our biggest fundraising challenge yet - and we’d love for you to join us.
Through July and August, the Just Love movement will take part in a giant relay, on wheels. In The Just Love 10th Birthday Relay, teams will cycle the distance between every Just Love group, covering over 1,500 miles in total.

As you can see, this is going to be a big adventure. We’re going to cover this distance by dividing the journey from Falmouth to Aberdeen into achievable ‘legs.’ Some are just the distance between two Just Love groups, but some need a stop on the way.
With a few exceptions, we’ve tried to keep these legs to under 60 miles - a ride that is both a challenge, but able to be completed in a day.
How can I take part?
We want to gather as many people as possible to go on this adventure to sow into the next ten years of Just Love. We’ve created this Just Giving page for the whole relay, with each leg having it’s own ‘mini page.’
This is where you come in - we'd love to invite you to join us on the Relay! There’s two ways you can support us: we’re looking for people to lead each leg, and a team of cyclists to join in.
You'll not only have an amazing experience but also help contribute to our fundraising goal of £25,000 - money that will go towards supporting future leaders to have a huge justice impact on our world.
So, are you up for a challenge? Do you love Just Love and want to see it thrive for the next decade to come? Through joining in with the challenge, bringing your friends and family to do it with you, and building a team of sponsors, we hope you can enjoy this birthday adventure whilst helping us to continue to invest in future generations of Christian students and their pursuit of justice.

Sponsor our cyclists
Unsure about cycling yourself, but interested in partnering with those raising funds? We’d love to invite you to sponsor those cycling in the Relay this summer.
“Being involved in Just Love, specifically attending the training events and doing local volunteering, has been the most impactful and significant experience I’ve had in my life so far. If I could financially support only one other student to go on the journey and transformation I’ve been on this year, it would be worth it”.

By donating and partnering with those cycling in the Relay, you’ll be playing an essential part in ensuring that future generations of students and graduates receive the life-changing leadership development, teaching and opportunities to do justice that Just Love provides.

We’re so glad - you can find all the information you need to take part, and the link to the JustGiving pages for every individual leg of the relay, in this PDF. We’ll also email you all this information when you sign up!

The Relay will take place throughout the months of July and August.
To make sure that as many people as possible can take part in the relay , we won’t complete each leg ‘in order.’ Instead, we’ll leave it up to the leg leads to organise a suitable date for each leg. We’ll keep the website updated as soon as a date has been decided for a leg, but do sign up before this if you’re interested - it’ll mean that you’ll hear directly from the leg lead! -
We are going to find ‘leg leads’ for each leg of the relay, who will map out the route, coordinate where to start and finish, and the necessary breaks for fuelling up!
When you sign up for a leg, we’ll pass on your information to the leg lead, who will add you to a groupchat with everyone else taking part in that leg of the journey. There you’ll find out all the information you need to join in on the day.
For more information on leg leads, check out this document.

No! Although we’ve tried to make each leg an achievable distance for completing in a day, we want everyone to be able to enjoy taking part in this fundraiser.
Most of our legs will have points where you could easily stop part way through, whilst still having completed an impressive cycling challenge! -
