Bikers in Stockport and beyond have staged their own sleigh ride, delivering presents and cheer to disabled young people and adults.

Roughley's Bikers delivered more than £17,000 in presents to the Together Trust, a disability charity based in Cheadle.

Hundreds of riders set out from Stockport Tesco on Sunday 7 December, bound for the charity's care centre on motorbikes, scooters, and more dressed up in festive livery.

They delivered an astonishing 3,199 toys - worth £15,792.17 - alongside £1,252.37 in monetary donations, all totalling over £17,000.

The so-called 'Toy Run' is a Roughley's tradition, having run every year for the last 25 years.

The charity said the arrival of the bikers was a highlight for the young people at the charity.

Lottie Jordan, Fundraiser at Together Trust, said it was an 'honour' to work with Roughley's Bikers.

"Year on year they show such kindness, hard work, and generosity towards supporting our services. It's been extra special to celebrate 25 years of the bikers supporting the Trust this year and boy, did they knock it out of the park! 

"Compared to last Christmas, they almost doubled the amount of money raised, over tripled the amount of monetary value of the gifts received, and over quadrupled the amount of gifts they donated.

"What a way to celebrate this incredible milestone. They make such a difference to our services and their events are beloved by everyone in the Trust.

"The Fundraising team are blown way and teary-eyed! We think they are wonderful and we wouldn't be able to fulfil our Christmas appeal without them. Here's to many more years!"
