How it works
Join us as we mark The King’s Trust’s golden anniversary and half a century of changing young lives. Help us celebrate in style as we gear up for our biggest Palace to Palace yet!
Palace to Palace is your chance to unite employees and clients and be part of a milestone moment. Whether your team is cycling our iconic route or exploring London landmarks along The Palace Walk, taking part together promotes team bonding, pride, and an unbeatable rush as you cross the finish line. Our special 50th anniversary team packages will keep your colleagues happy all day long.
Teams can be made up of both walkers and cyclists, with everyone coming together for a triumphant finish at our brand‑new venue: the Finish Festival in Battersea Park. This year’s festival will be bigger and better than ever - after all, you only turn 50 once! You can expect talented performers, delicious food and drink, and celebrations galore as we honour 50 years of breaking down barriers and opening doors for young people.
Let’s ride through our past, celebrate the present, and push the future forward — keeping momentum rolling for the next generation. Here’s to the next 50! 🎉
1. Purchase team places!
King’s Trust Partners will enjoy 10% off when purchasing team places for their employees. Follow the links below to purchase team places. You can choose the number of places you’d like to purchase for each of our Palace to Palace routes.
2. Your colleagues can claim a free place
Once you’ve purchased your team places, you’ll be sent a company claim code, that your colleagues can use to claim a team place. You can contact us on palace@kingstrust.org.uk if you’d like comms templates to help spread the word.
3. Your fundraising could be the turning point for a young life
As a team, we would love you to raise as much money as possible, to fund our programmes that give young people the skills and confidence they need.
Partner Packages
Whether you choose to take part in the cycle or The Palace Walk, taking part in Palace to Palace as a team, brings together teamwork, achievement, and a moment of celebration at the finish line. Our partner packages can make the day extra special for you and your colleagues.
Teams can be made up from walkers and cyclists. Bike hire is also available for anyone that wants to take part in the cycle but doesn't have a bike through Bike Hire UK. You can book a bike through their website and they'll have the bike ready for you on the start line.
Whichever event you take on, you'll be crossing the finish line together at our brand-new fantastic Finish Festival at Battersea Park.

Team fundraising ideas
Static bike-a-thon
Get cycling in the office to raise awareness of your team! We’ve seen virtual relays across the UK, cycling the distance from office to office, and live streams of cycling which colleagues can watch and donate!
Office Fundraising
Bring your colleagues back into the office for social events and activities to raise funds. From the old fashioned bake sales, to drinks trolleys, yoga classes, dancing in the dark discos, your colleagues could make a donation to have a good time!
Sponsorship
We’ve all got networks - family, friends, suppliers, clients. Whether it’s a tenner off your Uncle, or a supplier sponsors £1,000 to have their logo on your team t-shirts, your team can rack up the total by asking for sponsorship.
