Leigh Timmis is a two-time record-breaking cyclist, author and motivational speaker. On the 26th of September 2018, Leigh cycled into the record books, becoming the fastest person to cycle across Europe in a time of 16 days 10 hours and 45 minutes. Leading a team of sports science experts, he pioneered an innovative ‘no compromise’ approach to ultra-endurance cycling to break the previous world record by an astonishing eight days and 17 hours. In November 2022, Leigh became a double world record holder, riding 2,230 miles – the greatest distance cycled in seven days. These incredible achievements were built upon a unique and inspirational journey of self-discovery. In 2010, Leigh left the UK to cycle around the world on his epic, solo expedition of 44,000 miles over seven years, across 51 countries, and on a budget of only £5 per day. Pushing the limits of cycling and human endurance, he rode his bicycle in some of the most inhospitable places on Earth but also to some of the most magnificent. Leigh’s life-changing experiences have instilled within him a deep belief in the goodness and strength of humanity. Since returning from his first epic adventure in April 2017, Leigh has focused on helping others to become better versions of themselves though motivational speeches for business and education audiences across the UK. Leigh is an ambassador for MQ Mental Health Research and is the Honorary Colonel of the Derbyshire Army Cadet Force. Leigh’s book 'The Race of Truth' documenting his remarkable true story of personal transformation was published by Summerdale in 2023, and shortlisted for the Cycling Book of the Year in The Times 2024 Sports Book Awards. '7 Days', the feature documentary about his astounding record-breaking ride through hurricane Nicole premiered in 2024. Leigh has also made appearances on BBC television and radio as well as delivering talks for TEDx and National Geographic.

I successfully led the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) team through the pilot and mobilisation phases of Derby Wellbeing; a complex, collaborative and ambitious programme that fully integrates VCSE, NHS, Local Authority and community partners to provide holistic mental health supportWorking within the voluntary sector and with wider partners has enabled me to shape an approach of conducting action with community groups rather than for them. I built trusting relationships with eight specialist and leading VCSE organisations to share learning, understand specific needs and barriers, and build a strong community voice in the healthcare system. I worked collaboratively with community partners including ethnic minority groups, those with disabilities and long-term illness, and areas of deprivation, resulting in the successful provision of mental health support with lived experience at its centreI coached, supervised and nourished eight Wellbeing Coaches, to build a resilient, autonomous team. I worked with NHS Service Management on the design and delivery of day-to-day operations, embedding a strengths-based approach to development and prototyping process change, which included multi-agency reflection and solution finding. I co-developed the SOP and MOU, worked on design sprints for paperwork development, and through monitoring and data collection, I established the initial VCSE KPI’s for the projectThis role galvanised my belief in working together to build stronger relationships, using strength-based practices, and nourishing a learning culture so we can work through problems to achieve positive outcomes together
