Cemex employees completed a 400-mile cycle ride to raise money for a national disability charity.

The nine colleagues started their journey at the company's Stockton-on-Tees office in County Durham on Monday, September 16. They finished the week-long challenge at Cemex’s Southampton office.

The ride was in support of Sense, a charity that helps people with complex disabilities become more independent.

Along the way, the cyclists stopped at other Cemex sites across the country, including the Dove Holes quarry in the Peak District and the Rugby cement plant in Warwickshire.

The cycle ride was part of Cemex’s wellness week, which saw employees from across the UK taking part in various activities to promote well-being, build community, and raise money for good causes.

Sense supports around 30,000 adults and children who are deafblind or have complex disabilities, as well as their families and carers.

The charity offers personalised services and expert advice to families and carers.

The Cemex wellness cycle challenge aimed to support Sense by raising money and increasing awareness of their work.

Sense is on a mission to help even more children, young people, and adults access support in their local communities.

Dave Hart, director of supply chain for Cemex in the UK and France said: "Cemex are committed to creating a collaborative workplace, which empowers everyone to achieve their full potential. We want to ensure that we foster an environment which is truly inclusive, where everyone feels a sense of belonging.

"Our ambitions in this area directly align with the incredible work that Sense carry out on a daily basis and we want to use this event to really shine a spotlight on the work that they do in supporting people with complex disabilities to reach their full potential."
