Tour de Tingdene
September 26
In September 2026, Tingdene Group Foundation proudly launched the inaugural Tour de Tingdene, bringing together 15 riders for an incredible 250-mile cycling challenge in support of Marmalade Trust.
The three-day challenge began at Upton Lake & Marina, Tingdene’s most western site, before taking riders across the country to the finish line at North Denes Caravan Park, our most eastern location.
It was a huge test of endurance, determination and teamwork, with the group taking on 250 miles in just three days. Along the route, colleagues, friends and supporters came together to cheer on the riders and help raise vital funds for a fantastic cause.
Following the completion of the challenge, we were delighted to announce a final fundraising total of an incredible £18,194 for Marmalade Trust.
Marmalade Trust is a UK charity dedicated to raising awareness of loneliness and helping people to make new connections. The funds raised through Tour de Tingdene will support the charity’s important work in tackling loneliness and helping more people feel connected within their communities.
We are incredibly proud of every rider who took part in the first-ever Tour de Tingdene and would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who donated, supported the team and cheered them on throughout the challenge.
An incredible achievement for an incredibly important cause.
A massive well done to our riders: Ethan Zone, Dave Ray, Lee Bollu, Paul Whittington, Kyle Wiltshire, Justin Le Count, Adam Buck, Paul Knox, Karl Leesan and John Reetham.
