Autism Guernsey is holding a unique nighttime cycling event to raise money to support autistic people and their families.
The AG Night Ride will begin at 17:00 on Saturday 26 September with participants riding into the night.
Sean Cheong, on behalf of Autism Guernsey, said: “It’s a fantastic community event and will bring everyone together for a very important cause.
The charity costs more than £400,000, she said, “so every penny counts”.
“Every rider who takes part helps to support the work of Autism Guernsey within the Guernsey community.”
Participants can choose between 3 events – 10 miles, 25 miles and 50 miles – which will all begin at L’Ancresse Golf Club.
Mr Cheong added: “The event is for all cyclists from families to the experienced club rider.
“The 50 mile route will be a challenge, whereas the 10 mile route is fantastic for families. We hope everyone will light up their bikes and enter into the spirit of the event.
“Whether you’re an expert cyclist or simply looking for a fun challenge with friends, we’d love you to join us this September.”
Northern Trust is the fundraiser’s lead sponsor, while BDO is the ride sponsor.
Dave Sauvarin, head of Northern Trust, Channel Islands, said: “Northern Trust is delighted to be the lead sponsor of the AG Night Ride.
“The event embodies community spirit and raises important funds for a charity that has a meaningful impact on so many lives and the wider community.”
Richard Searle, Managing Director at BDO Guernsey, said the firm was “proud” to support it.
“Autism Guernsey delivers invaluable services within our community, and this event is a brilliant way for islanders to come together, get active and make a real difference.
We encourage as many people as possible to sign up and take part. We are very much looking forward to it.”
