Biking the coast to coast for Joyride.

Participating in Joyride '25

Christchurch, Canterbury

This month, we're biking from Sumner Beach to Greymouth across the spine of the South Island, climbing thousands of vertical meters to get from one coast to the other.

The challenge is big, Callum is confident, John is a little nervous, but the motivation is bigger.

Having both spent time in Kolkata, we've seen first-hand the devastating effects of extreme poverty and modern-day slavery. We've also witnessed the powerful work of Joyya.

Your sponsorship will turn our pedal strokes into hope for people escaping the cycle of poverty. It helps Joyya continue to make lives safe, stable, and a little bit more fun.

Ready to turn our sweat into someone else's security?

Don't wait—sponsor our journey today and support this life-changing work!

In Kolkata, a lot of kids don’t get to enjoy just being kids. Poverty and modern slavery don’t leave much room for fun or joy in their lives

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
