Riders for Health has teamed up with the BBC in a bid to help people in remote African communities receive the gift of a healthier future this Christmas.
Riders will make an appeal for funding in the BBC’s Lifeline programme on Sunday 17th December. BBC Grandstand presenter Suzi Perry will host the appeal, which features our work in the Gambia, West Africa.
“You could argue it’s the less glamorous side of life-saving,” says Suzi. “Riders don’t rush in with vast amounts of food or perform emergency operations, but it’s absolutely certain that without the role they play hundreds – maybe thousands – of people wouldn’t be alive today.”
The Lifeline programme will be shown on BBC 1 at 3.30 on Sunday, 17th December, and will be repeated on BBC 2 at 1.00 on Wednesday, 20th December.
To make a donation, call 0800 093 93 94 (from 17th December), or send a cheque payable to ‘Riders for Health’ to Freepost, RIDERS FOR HEALTH. Or you can donate online at
