An Ilkley police community support officer has helped a 170-mile charity bike ride reach its £10,000 fundraising target.
PCSO Joanne Barrett joined colleagues from West Yorkshire Police for the Police Unity Tour in aid of Care of Police Survivors (COPS).
The group’s fundraising page has now passed its target following the challenge.
Joanne, who has served the Ilkley community for more than 12 years, cycled from Wakefield to the National Memorial Arboretum alongside police officers, PCSOs, staff and volunteers.

The ride concluded with the annual COPS service of remembrance, which honours police officers and staff who have died while on duty.
A spokesperson for Discover Ilkley said:
“It was a huge personal challenge, following months of training, and we’re delighted to see Joanne supporting such an important cause.”
COPS supports the families of police officers and staff who have lost their lives on duty, helping them rebuild their lives and remain connected to the wider police community.
