CARTEN100 Spokes Foundation

Every year as part of the planning process the CARTEN100 crew consider the many appeals for support from charities across Wales.

For 2026 the Spokes Foundation will be supporting.

Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospital Charity

The CARTEN100 team have committed to supporting Noah’s Ark for the next 5 years and they will be the recipients of riders donations and sponsorship up to 2030.

Children and families are at the heart of everything we do at the Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospital Charity.

We ensure that treatment and outcomes for children can continue to improve by funding new and innovative medical equipment and facilities. We support children and families in the here and now through our emotional support services and the much-loved play specialist team and we invest in the future by providing technology that helps train the bright clinicians of tomorrow. We also strive to make the hospital a less frightening and more familiar place for children by sprinkling a little fun and happiness into hospital days.

As a charity that relies entirely on gifts and donations – this is all made possible thanks to people like you.

 

Here for You Appeal

 

Having a child ill in hospital is hard.  Day in and day out, children undergo daunting procedures, parents live with worry and uncertainty, siblings miss each other desperately and families can have their whole life changed in an instant. Many go through experiences that are hard for most of us to imagine.

Together, through our emotional support service, we can reach out a hand to help these families through.

Your support could fund a counselling session for a long term patient coping with the loneliness of being away from family and friends, or music therapy for a non-verbal child to help them communicate and release their emotions. Over the past year alone, 145 children and family members have received emotional support through our counselling service and 562 music therapy session have taken place across both the children’s hospital and neonatal intensive care unit.

How you can help!

CARTEN100 has two main objectives, to set an achievable challenge for novice riders to encourage them to become fit and enjoy cycling, and to raise money for good causes – in 2025 we celebrated £1.7 million pounds raised.
