Michael O’Brien, along with a determined team of 13 riders from Brookings Estate Agents will be taking to the saddle on Sunday 19th July 2026 to complete the London to Southend Bike Ride, raising vital funds for the local charity First Step.
Made up of staff, clients and friends of all cycling abilities, the Brookings team will tackle the challenging 52-mile route from West Ham Park in Newham to Priory Park in Southend. The popular ride takes cyclists through picturesque villages and peaceful country lanes, promising an unforgettable day of teamwork, determination and fundraising.
The team has chosen to support First Step, a Hornchurch-based charity that provides invaluable early intervention and ongoing support to families of babies and young children with special needs and disabilities. The charity works closely with parents and carers, offering specialist guidance, practical support and a caring environment during what can often be an overwhelming and emotional time.
With no government funding, First Step relies entirely on the generosity of local businesses, community fundraisers and individual donors to continue delivering its essential services. Every pound raised helps ensure families can access the support they need when they need it most.
Everyone at Agents Giving wishes the Brookings team the very best of luck as they take on this fantastic cycling challenge. Their commitment to supporting a local charity and making a real difference in their community is a wonderful example of the property industry’s generosity and spirit.
If you would like to support the Brookings team and help First Step continue its life changing work, every donation, no matter how big or small, will make a lasting impact.
Good luck everyone!
