Saddlers charity cycle to support leathermaking skills
18/07/2025
A group of 16 liverymen and freemen from the Worshipful Company of Saddlers began a 174-mile cycle ride from the Walsall Leather Skills Centre to Saddlers’ Hall in London on July 17.
The ride aimed to raise funds for Shelter From The Storm, a charity supporting people experiencing homelessness, and to highlight traditional saddlery skills and training.
Based at The Bridge in Walsall, the Leather Skills Centre offers apprenticeships in Leather Craftsperson (Level 2) and Bespoke Saddler (Level 3), as well as City & Guilds Diplomas in Saddlery, covering bridle, saddle and harness making.
