Metro Bank's Mauro Cycles High to Raise Over £3,000 for Dons Local Action Group

Metro Bank colleague Mauro Pizzol alongside a group of friends, recently completed the iconic London to Brighton bike ride, pedalling their way to an impressive £3,164 raised for the Dons Local Action Group (DLAG).

The Dons Local Action Group, born from the heart of the AFC Wimbledon fan community during the COVID-19 lockdown, has been a driving force in providing essential support across Merton, Wandsworth, and Kingston. What started with the aim of helping those in need has blossomed into an award-winning initiative. To date, the charity has donated over 6 million meals, 3,500 laptops, and close to 1,000 pieces of furniture to vulnerable members of the community.

Mauro Pizzol, Business Risk and Controls Manager shared: "Completing the London to Brighton ride was both a physical and emotional journey. Knowing that every turn of the wheel was helping such an important local cause gave me the energy to push through. I'm so proud of what we've been able to achieve as a team and grateful to everyone who helped us raise over £3,000 which will go towards furthering this charity's incredible work, ensuring no one in the community is left behind."
