The Hospitality Rides Challenge 2026 takes place in April – Riders face a challenging route across Vietnam.
The 2026 Vietnam Challenge
If you are scratching your head and wondering ‘Wasn’t Cuba the the destination for 2026?’ You would be absolutely right, Cuba was the destination. However, heeding new travel advice issued by the UK Government, the Hospitality Rides team will now be cycling Vietnam!
Same determination, same commitment to our charities, same positive force for change.
Who we’re raising money for:
Licensed Trade Charity
The Licensed Trade Charity has been supporting people in the licensed hospitality industry since 1793. For over two centuries, the charity has stood beside pub, bar and brewery workers through some of life’s toughest moments.
It’s estimated that around 250,000 people in the industry could be in need of support at any given time and with your financial support the LTC is able to offer free, confidential support, practical advice and urgent financial guidance. Their team is focused on stopping small issues becoming big problems, offering a listening ear and practical solutions through a dedicated helpline – They offer help, hope and a way forward.
Only A Pavement Away
Only A Pavement Away was founded in 2018 by hospitality industry leaders who believed everyone deserves a second chance. Created in response to the UK’s growing homelessness crisis, the charity connects employers with people facing tough life challenges.
The charity supports those facing homelessness, prison leavers, veterans struggling to adapt to civilian life and those held back by barriers beyond their control. The charity provides support such as funding training, placing people into long-term hospitality sector roles and offering financial support for essentials like rent and travel – helping individuals rebuild their lives whilst strengthening the hospitality industry and easing pressure on public services.
