Support our work

CYE is sustained by a community of people who believe this work matters.
Through prayer, time and financial giving, they make what we do possible, we simply couldn’t do it without them.

Why support CYE?

We’re more than just an activity centre. At the heart of CYE is a vision to see young people welcomed, challenged, encouraged and equipped — in life, in leadership, and in faith. But none of this happens without people like you.

Your support keeps the boats running, the campfires burning, the bunk beds made, and the gospel shared. There are four key ways you can be part of the story:

Support us financially

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.

Pray for us

We believe that what we do is Kingdom work. Whilst we do it for Him - we simply cant do it without him!  We invite you to join our community of praying supporters.

Volunteer at CYE

CYE operates well because people step in to support us with their time. Many of our events rely on volunteers in order to run; from practical jobs to camps and fundraising, there’s room for you to come and be a part of something special.

join an event

Our events create space for young people to step out of the ordinary and into something stretching and life-giving. In a safe and encouraging environment, they try new things, grow in confidence and form lasting friendships. We’d love you to explore what’s coming up.
