FUNDRAISING

WAYS YOU CAN GET INVOLVED

                                                       Fundraising and Donations – The Heartbeat of Cyril Flint Befrienders

Fundraising and donations are vital to the survival of our charity. Our incredible volunteers give their time freely to visit those who are lonely and isolated, and we never charge our service users – ensuring our support remains completely free for those who need it most. Every donation, no matter how small, helps us continue this essential work. You can find out more ways to give by visiting our Donations page.

But it’s not just about donations – our dedicated team of staff, volunteers, and supporters are always coming up with exciting and innovative ways to raise funds. From charity runs, afternoon teas, to raffles and midnight walks, there are endless ways to get involved.

How You Can Help:

• Take on a challenge like a 10k run, a fundraiser walk, or even a dragon boat race – we’ll help you every step of the way!

• Celebrate your special day by asking friends and family to donate in lieu of wedding or birthday gifts.

• Host your own event! Maybe a Coffee Morning or a Quiz Night to make organising easy and fun.

• Gather your friends for an Accumulator Challenge — see how much you can grow your starting pot for the charity!

We’re also looking for Fundraising Volunteers to help us spread the word. Could you help by leafletting in your community, sharing our message online, or giving a little time to support our events? Every bit helps and makes a real difference. Simply email [email protected] 

Corporate Support
Businesses can also get involved by sponsoring Cyril Flint Befrienders to help cover a variety of costs – from volunteer training to service delivery – while giving back to the community and achieving their corporate social responsibility goals.
Do you work for a company that matches employee fundraising efforts? Or perhaps you’re in the process of selecting a Charity of the Year? Why not choose Cyril Flint Befrienders? We may be a small charity, but our reach and impact are huge – we truly change lives through the power of friendship and connection.

Whatever your idea, we’d love to hear from you! Drop us a line at [email protected], and we’ll help you get started.

Together, we can brighten the lives of those who need it most.

RACK EM’UP

With massive thanks to Zoe, a brilliant supporter of Cyril Flint Befrienders, for her generous fundraising event ‘Rack Em’ Up for Cyril’.

Zoe volunteered to hold a pool night at her local pub to raise funds for Cyril Flint Befrienders. Anyone that wanted to play Zoe at pool had to pay a £1 donation to Zoe, all donations were then given to Cyril Flint Befrienders Charity. In just one night she raised a massive £197. A massive thanks also to The Showboat Pub who generously allowed the cost of playing pool to go to Cyril Flint for the night of Zoe’s event.
