A police officer is planning to cycle to every police station across the Avon and Somerset force area for charity.

He is raising money for Hop Skip and Jump, a respite centre for children with special needs in Kingswood.

Pc McQuaid said: "After six months training, I am really looking forward to my journey."

He added: "The Hop Skip and Jump centre provides a safe haven for children, where they can happily play and have fun, giving parents some much-needed respite and support."
