People are being encouraged to get in a spin at WV Active and help raise vital funds for Compton Care.

WV Active Aldersley and WV Active Bilston-Bert Williams are hosting an epic two-hour spin-a-thon on Saturday 10 May from 9.30am-11.30am in support of the Cycle for Compton appeal.

The charity is asking people to cycle 50, 100, 250 or 500 miles throughout May to enable it to continue its work supporting patients and their families.

To get involved at WV Active costs just £10 per bike, with all proceeds going to Compton Care. Every participant will also get a WV Active and Compton goodie bag. It is open to members and non-members and places can be booked via the WV Active app or by visiting one of the centres.

Emily Thompson, Compton Care Community and Events Manager, said: “For over 40 years, we have been providing specialist palliative and end of life care to patients, and support for their families, helping them to navigate every aspect of life with a life limiting condition.

"Our care, whether delivered at our purpose-built facilities or at home, is tailored to individual needs, helping patients and their loved ones to feel safe and supported. Ensuring local people living with or caring for someone with a palliative diagnosis have access to the care and support they need remains our priority.

"By Cycling for Compton you are helping to raise vital funds for Compton Care."
