Join the AFPA Trust BIG Charity Cycle 2026

The countdown has officially begun for one of the asset finance industry’s most inspiring events of the year – The AFPA Trust BIG Cycle 2026 – returning from 25th–27th June 2026 with what promises to be the biggest and flattest ride yet.

After the phenomenal success of last year’s event, the AFPA Trust is once again bringing together industry professionals, supporters, and charity champions for an unforgettable cycling adventure from London to Amsterdam. And this year, around 20 riders are already preparing to glide through the Netherlands’ famous tulips, windmills and the odd raft over the dams on their way to the Dutch capital.

More than just a cycling challenge, the BIG Cycle is about community, camaraderie, and giving back. Riders from across the asset finance and business community are already signed up, including participants from Tower Leasing, Asset Advantage, Novuna, NACFB, Propel Finance, Victor Finance, VitrX, Resilient Management Solutions, Mark Lyons Recruitment, LTi Technology Solutions, Computercenter and Tysers Insurance.

The event also welcomes riders from charities including Alexander Devine, Unbeatable Eva Foundation, Nordoff & Robbins and Coach Core.

Last year’s ride raised an outstanding £43,000 for 11 charities, and organisers are determined to make 2026 even bigger.

Whether participants choose to ride in support of a charity close to their heart or simply take on the challenge for personal achievement, every mile contributes to the incredible charitable work supported by the AFPA Trust.

And importantly, this isn’t a race. It’s a shared journey where no rider gets left behind.

Designed to be accessible for riders of different abilities, the event combines expert support, unforgettable scenery, and a genuine team spirit that makes the experience as rewarding emotionally as it is physically.

The AFPA Trust BIG Cycle has quickly become one of the industry’s standout events, combining physical challenge, networking, fundraising, and personal growth in a truly unique way.

There is still time to join the ride.

Whether you want to support a charity you care about, take on a life-changing personal challenge, network with industry peers, or simply experience an unforgettable adventure…this is your chance to be part of something special.
