Juliet Hinton-Smith, community fundraising officer at BHT Sussex, said: “We are so excited to be back with this event for 2021. The money raised at Bike It Brighton will go to First Base, our day centre for rough sleepers in Brighton and Hove. Here, vulnerable people can access support and advice to help them move away from the streets and into a place they can call home. Every penny raised really will make a difference.”
