“Years 4, 5 and 6 of Manor Longbridge School had the pleasure of spending the day recently with Gordon Miller and his dedicated team. Staff and pupils alike thoroughly enjoyed the experience and learnt a huge amount from Ride for Freedom and their incredibly important messages. We were collectively inspired by Gordon, his physical and entrepreneurial feats as well as the work that the charity has done in a short space of time to raise awareness for the cause of modern slavery and to directly positively impact victims of this atrocity. All of the adults were friendly, helpful, supportive and clearly passionate about the cause. The bikes were practical, great fun to use and expertly accompanied by the bike technicians throughout the experience. I would recommend this experience to any school and personally look forward to working with Gordon and his team in the future. Thank you for all that you do!”

“When I took part in a Ride For Freedom Freewheel session it was an activity that really made me happy and relieved stress with my current mental situation. The teacher was very kind, patiently teaching us. After finishing, we were given free the complete cycling equipment and the bikes that we use when training. This, for me, is a great experience and helps me to recover from my fears and trauma, and so far has made me more confident😍😍.”

“Working with Gordon and his team is a pleasure. They are not only inspirational but also entrepreneurial and we’ve seen the foundation go from strength to strength over the years. Never short of ideas, enthusiasm and support if you’re thinking of getting involved and raising money for a fantastic cause.”

“Since we have established a really strong link with Ride For Freedom, we have found that our children have developed their awareness of modern-day slavery. It is a privilege to be part of this mission to combat and end human trafficking. We have been fortunate to receive school visits from Gordon Miller and his team. This has enabled our children to ask specific questions about the Ride For Freedom pledge and on-going fight for justice. We look forward to future ventures with Ride For Freedom.”

“Ride for Freedom has been an inspiration. I’ve had the privilege to ride with Ride for Freedom founder Gordon Miller on many occasions: not just our signature rides across Europe to various football grounds with the spotlight upon us, but upon quiet rides around the bike paths and B-roads of Hertfordshire, and throughout his devotion to ending Modern Slavery is paramount.”

“I have been involved with meaningful causes in Mumbai such as mental health, diabetes rally, cancer awareness etc. Ride for freedom is yet another social cause that I feel brings satisfaction for me as an individual. It brings people together through its virtual format and aligns us to one common goal of freedom from stress, anxiety, sedentary lifestyle, and from slavery. I am glad to associate with it and would like to extend my thanks to the organizers.”

“We have had a great partnership with Ride For Freedom over the last three years through several visits, while raising awareness about modern slavery. On 12 June 2023, we came together again to support World Day Against Child Labour by cycling around King Power Stadium, while sharing ideas about how we can continue to spread the word together. We are looking forward to continuing our work with Ride for Freedom and building upon the amazing work they are already doing.”
