We have had 30 local charities represented by over 200 people in our 'Kensal Tri Teams'.

Each charity has its own fundraising pages when it takes part and you can read about 2021 and 2022 at Charities | Kensal Tri. 

If you want to add a charity please get in contact. Our group doesn't charge any commission and 100% of money raised will reach the local charity at a very difficult time for fundraising.

THANK YOU for your support.
