Sustrans is the UK's leading sustainable transport charity. Sustrans not only promotes the sustainability of our environment, but also facilitates an improvement in the nation's health by providing people with the option to travel in a way which is beneficial to their health. With nearly a quarter of adults in the UK being obese, and an incline in disorders linked with a lack of physical activity (such as Type 2 Diabetes), it is important that an infrastructure exists to support an active nation.

Those of you who are not aware of the charity may have seen the fruits of their labour in your local area. The National Cycle Network covers over 12,000 miles in the UK. 75% of the nation is within 2 miles of a National Cycle Network Route.

The Sustrans website is full of information about the charity, and the projects that the donated money funds. For a more detailed breakdown of their income and expenditure, check out the Charity Commission website.

War Child UK is a member of the War Child International group. The UK offices of the charity currently work to support and rehabilitate child victims of war in Afghanistan, Congo, Iraq and Uganda. These victims include former child soldiers, street children and children in prison.

War Child works with local authorities, governments and other aid organisations in both conflict and post-conflict areas to support children and the people that they depend upon. The various projects they are working on involve reconnecting children with their families and communities, ensuring sustainable security for children and addressing the developmental needs of the most vulnerable and marginalised children.

More information about War Child and its current projects can be found on their website. The Charity Commission website provides further information on the charity's income and expenditure.

Notice the "Supported By" section under the navigation on the left side of every page? By donating over £30 to one of our charities through our JustGiving page, we will place the logo and a link to your businesses' website on every page of the site. The links are ordered by the amount donated - the more you donate, the higher up the list you appear!

You can also donate equipment. We'll be spending a large sum on Cycling equipment, food and energy drinks. We are more than willing to promote your brand as much as possible in return.

By donating over £30, not only do you get your link on the side of every page, but also on the Route page with the day we're staying in your guesthouse. Future LEJOG attemps from others may use our route as a guide, and may also consider the same accommodation.
