We can’t quite believe it’s here already, but tomorrow (Saturday 4th February) we’re hitting the streets of London for a 15 mile walk to raise money for Help A London Child – starting at both Nando’s Woolwich at 9am and Nando’s Beckenham at 9:30am and then finishing at Nando’s Clink Street.

We’ll be doing live updates throughout the day, so you’ll be able to see where we are and what we’re up to as we make our way across London. And most importantly, we’d love you to support us – either by joining us on the day (see the map below for the route we’re taking) or simply by making a donation two ways:

1. Head on over to our JustGiving page right now and make a donation

2. Text your donation to 70070 using code QBMA60 to plus the amount you want to donate (For example, to donate £1 text QBMA60 £1 to 70070)

(HINT: We’ll be giving out plenty of chicken-related goodies throughout the day, so if you love your PERi-PERi AND want to raise money for a great cause, then the Great Chicken March is most definitely for you . . . )

Big hugs and thank-yous for your support.

Last week we took to the streets for our first ever Powered by PERi-PERi ride, along with some of our Facebook fans and people we met along the way. We had a great day riding with Barci and judging by some of the feedback we’ve had, you guys loved it too (as well as the Nando’s vouchers and other goodies!).

Here’s a quick video we shot on the day so you can see what all the fuss was about and there’s loads of pics over on Facebook too. Next time, we might be on a street near you, so keep an eye on all the usual places and it could be you in the HOT seat.

We had a lot of fun riding a Pedibus recently – a pedal-powered road vehicle, kind of like a bike, that carries up to 10 people at a time. You really do have to see it to believe it.

So, we’re really happy to announce that on Thursday 27th October, you’ll get to experience it for yourselves as we’ll be hitting the streets of London for the very first time on a Nando’s Pedibus (mock-up below) and we want you to join us!

Starting at Nando’s Clink Street at 11am, we’ll be pedaling our way over to Covent Garden first and then hitting the streets between Nando’s Covent Garden, Soho and Glasshouse Street throughout the rest of the day.

Anyone can join Barci and the Nando’s crew on the ‘PERimobile’, so get down to one of the restaurants involved and keep an eye on Facebook and Twitter to find out where we are in the afternoon – or if you see us, just shout and we’ll pick you up if there’s a free seat. In exchange for your pedal power, we’ll be giving away lots of Nando’s badges, T-Shirts and vouchers to get you in the mood for some PERi-PERi action.

Fancy grabbing a seat and joining us on the first-ever ride?

We’re looking for eight Nando’s fans (individuals or in pairs) to join us on the first leg of the ride from Nando’s Clink Street to Covent Garden, starting at 11am. Fancy it? We’ll feed you with nibbles & drinks as you ride and give you loads of Nando’s love in the form of T-Shirts, badges and vouchers . . . as well as heaps of kudos. Just leave a comment here on the blog or over on Facebook and we’ll get in touch with you directly to reserve your slot and sort everything out.
