Donations & Giving
Your gift, whether a one-off or a regular donation, will help us continue creating safe, life-giving spaces for young people, as we hope to be able to do for many more years.
Why does CYE need donations?
We want CYE to be here for generations to come. As a charity, we keep fees as low as possible but they don’t cover the full cost. Your support helps secure the future of this place and the young people who grow here.
LASTING impact
Every year we see the difference CYE makes in young lives. It's visible in the confidence they grow in, the friendships they form and the faith that grows here. The stories and feedback we receive remind us that this place matters. Your support helps that impact continue.
Accessible for all
We never want cost to be the reason a young person misses out. Donations help us keep prices affordable and sustain our bursary scheme, offering financial support to families and schools who need it most.
Ways you can give
You can choose how and where your gift makes a difference. However you give, it helps us create space for young people to grow.

- Covering the everyday costs that keep CYE running
- Supporting the wider mission of CYE, including Christmas Outreach.
Why it Matters
