Support Us

Support comes in many ways. If you would like to support us in a practical way, we have an extensive volunteers’ network which utilises the gifts and talents of many people throughout the year in various different ways. The Volunteering page gives you more information on how you can support CYE with your time and talents.

Prayer

As a Christian organisation, we very much believe in the power of prayer. This really does underpin everything that we do at CYE and we collectively believe that God looks after and provides for us. This has been clearly evident over the past 37+ years. There are always specific things that we need prayer about so sign up for our monthly newsletter, Prayer Essentials, here. (Select ‘News and Updates’)

BURSARY FUND

The bursary fund subsidises the cost of CYE’s events for those facing financial hardship, making it
easier for more people to access all that we offer at CYE. Find out more about CYE bursaries here.

CYE 10:10

For the week around 10th October each year we hold special fundraising events – remembering one of our favourite verses ‘…I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.’ John 10:10. 

In October 2024 we held our second Sponsored Open Swim, and we’re so excited that we’ll be hosting our third event in 2025.

On 11th October we’re jumping back into the water to raise money for our Bursary Fund. There are heats for lots of ages and abilities so that lots of people can get involved. All the heats will take place in the Bosham Channel and will finish at TS Resolute where there’ll be a whole host of supporters cheering the swimmers on (and probably enjoying CYE tea and cake).

WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?

All of the money raised for CYE 10:10 will be going into our Bursary Fund. It’s incredibly important to us that we make all of the activities and events we have to offer at CYE available to as many people as possible. It’s our heart to reduce the potential financial barrier for those who want to come along. Applications to access bursary awards are reviewed by our trustees who award them based on the specific needs of each person.

This year we’re aiming to raise £14,000 which is enough to enable 100 people to come to CYE who wouldn’t otherwise have been able to be here – that’s 100 more people invited into life-changing moments – incredible!

So – do you fancy getting involved and helping us to reach our target?

Here is a table of the swimming heats that will be taking place this year. They’ll take place between 10am and 4pm, and specific heat times will be announced closer to the date (and probably won’t be in the same order as below). A warm up session will be provided an hour before your heat time and it’ll be essential that you take part in this.
