On Thursday 9th October, 12 employees from Experian will be cycling 50 miles around Nottinghamshire in aid of the "Heart of Experian" charity fund using Nottingham City Council's "Citycard Cycles" - this will be an extremely tough challenge considering that these bikes weren't designed for long distance cycling!
Departing from Landmark House at 9am, the group will head out along the River Trent towards Ruddington and onwards through the Nottinghamshire Countryside, following the 50 mile ‘Nottingham Cyclelive’ route, returning to Landmark House via Holme Pierrepont.
As the first company in Nottingham to have ‘Citycard Cycles’ installed on-site, we thought it’d be great to organise an event to promote their use.
The Heart of Experian charity fund is about making a real difference to the lives of people living in the communities where we operate.
Some of our previous charitable work includes:
- Financial Education
We have developed a free online teaching resource for primary schools called “Values, Money and Me”. Used by schools, parents and carers, this resource is designed to teach children the meaning and value of money. We aim to educate and improve the knowledge of at least 18,000 children by 2014.
- Improving the career prospects of youngsters
In the UK&I, one in five 16-24 year olds is unemployed. And, two thirds of start-up businesses set up by 16-25 year olds fail. To improve the situation we are using our career development know-how to provide mentoring to pupils and students at local schools and universities.
- Helping the homeless find homes
Our pioneering collaboration with the UK’s Big Issue magazine led to the launch of the Rental Exchange service. Our new service offers a safe and secure way for tenants living in social housing to improve their credit rating. Our aim is to support 1.4m households in this way, by 2015, enabling them to access fairer priced credit.
Please give generously - every penny really does count!
