GET pedalling!

That's the appeal from children's charity the NSPCC ahead of its Big Bike Ride weekend later this year.

The charity is asking people to organise rides in their communities between June 29 and July 1.

It wants to raise £300,000.

Divisional fundraising manager Christine Saxon said: "Every penny raised makes it possible for us to continue our vital work with some of the most vulnerable children and young people."
