Selborne takes on the London to Brighton Cycle Ride 2026 in support of The Marylebone Project

On Sunday, 13th September, members and staff of Selborne Chambers and our partnering solicitors will be taking on the challenging quest to cycle from London to Brighton, 55 miles! This year the charity ride is in support of The Marylebone Project – a charity that provides a life-changing service for women to overcome homelessness.

For more than 90 years, The Marylebone Project has been a place of safety, stability, and renewal for women facing the toughest circumstances. Their work centres on providing a safe, supportive environment where women can rebuild trust, re engage with society, and start to rebuild their lives with the support of an all encompassing service. The women they support face a wide range of challenges, including domestic abuse, human trafficking, alcohol and drug misuse, unemployment, loneliness, disability, and mental health struggles. Whatever their story, the Project is committed to empowering each woman to move toward independence and a hopeful future.

This long standing commitment to supporting women with dignity has defined The Marylebone Project for many years. It’s also what makes the following news particularly important.

The Marylebone Project will be closing at the end of September 2026. As a result, the charity must now support every woman currently in their care into resettlement, even when some may not yet feel fully ready. This is both very sad and an enormous undertaking. In a typical year, they resettle around 45–50 women; by contrast, over the coming months they will need to support almost double that number.

We are committed to helping The Marylebone Project to raise funds, every donation, big or small, brings real hope at a time when it is needed most and will make a meaningful difference in helping women rebuild their lives with confidence. To donate, please visit our JustGiving page.
