South West Baptist - let's participate in Joyride 2024

Nationwide

A lot of kids in Kolkata live pretty tough lives. We love what Joyya is doing to create spaces where kids can just be kids. Where they no longer need to be the income earner or the domestic help, where they can just play, have fun, and experience joy without fear of what or who is nearby. Funds raised through Joyride will go towards buying equipment, running events, sending kids to school to open up opportunities for further education such as university studies, supporting youth groups, kids’ clubs, and having a whole lot of fun. We think that is pretty great.

One way we can support this is by working together to help these kids have positive experiences which impact them for a lifetime.

So, what are you waiting for? Dream up a scheme and be on our team! You could bike in a costume or circle the park, or light yourself up, so you glow in the dark! Whatever cycling challenge you choose (and it doesn’t have to be crazy), join our team and set up your own fundraising page, find some sponsors, and let’s bring some joy together.

Here are some ways to spread the word:

Social Media: Share your experiences and the impactful stories from Kolkata on Instagram and Facebook. Use compelling photos and heartfelt captions to engage your audience.
