A Butterfly Conservation Trustee, and member since 1985, Simon's childhood spent in the Dorset countryside sparked a lifelong passion for butterflies, moths and all types of wildlife.
Now he’s taking action to help save threatened species, but he needs your help.
Please sponsor Simon’s Bike for Butterflies Challenge today. Help restore the wild places we love across the UK, and create more habitats for butterflies and moths to thrive.
Text CYCLE 5 to 70450 to donate £5. This costs £5, plus a standard rate message.
Alternatively, you can text CYCLE 10 to 70450 to give £10 or CYCLE 20 to 70450 to give £20
Your support will make a difference
£12 could provide a volunteer with equipment like gloves and goggles so they can help create vital habitat for species like the Duke of Burgundy.
£45 could buy 50 Wild Thyme plants, providing food for the caterpillars of the threatened Large Blue butterfly, helping give it a safer future.
£250 could help pay for a conservation officer to run a training day for landowners, ensuring they can create the right conditions for threatened butterflies to thrive.
Visit Simon on route
Simon will be stopping at 15+ nature reserves along the way. Why not visit your nearest to see how he’s getting on and see what butterflies you spot while there? See his route here.

Do your own sponsored ride
Why not set your own cycle challenge and raise even more funds to help protect butterflies and moths? You could even choose to match his miles by cycling 40 miles a day on an indoor bike.
If Simon cannot complete his challenge due to unforeseen circumstances we would still like to use your sponsorship money to fund our conservation work. If you would prefer to have your sponsorship money returned in this instance please contact us at @email
