We are open in our MAYFACS office at London House, Mayfield High Street, on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday between 10am - 1pm every week. We may be in the office on other occasions around our regular activities in the community but to give you a guaranteed time to see us, please visit us during these times.

We are over the moon to be able to announce that MAYFACS have been awarded The King’s Award for Voluntary Service for 2026. Today this is formally announced to celebrate the King's Birthday.
This is the highest award a local voluntary group can receive in the UK and is equivalent to an MBE. Being selected for The Kings Award for Voluntary Services (KAVS) is a tremendous honour and significant milestone as we celebrate our 10th Anniversary this year.
The King’s Award for Voluntary Service aims to recognise outstanding work by local volunteer groups to support their communities. It was created in 2002 to celebrate Her Late Majesty, The Queen’s Golden Jubilee and was continued following the accession of His Majesty, The King. 2026 marks the third year of The King’s Award for Voluntary Service. MAYFACS is one of 250 local charities, social enterprises and voluntary groups to receive the prestigious award this year.
We are exceptionally proud that the extraordinary dedication of our MAYFACS volunteers has been honoured with this award. This recognition stands as a powerful testament to their hard work, deep commitment, and the life-changing impact they bring to our local community every single day. THANK YOU to all of our incredible Volunteers!

MAYFACS 10yr Anniversary Celebrations
Excited to release our 10 year anniversary VIDEO
We are so proud to be 10 years old, and we were honoured to work with the brilliant
Simon Heaton (THANK YOU!) to create this video highlighting the first decade of MAYFACS!
We were able to launch this at our 10th Anniversary Gala Evening, and our Summer Garden
Party,and now would like to share this with our community. Sit back and enjoy the memories.
Thank you to everyone who supports MAYFACS, who volunteers for us, who works with us, who attend our activities and groups and who fund/have funded our charity over the last 10 years. We couldn't do what we do without you!
All funds raised during our 10 year celebrations go towards supporting the work of MAYFACS within our community and every pound raised really makes a huge difference to ensuring MAYFACS is around for another 10 years! Thank you!
#10years #community #support #memories #fundraising

20th April 2026, marked 10 years of MAYFACS!!
We are so proud to be still supporting the incredible community of Mayfield and Five Ashes, 10 years after we were created!
From the moment a group of willing volunteers discussed how to keep local support and services going, by merging together to form a new charity - to where we are now, 10 years later. We couldn't be prouder!
We now have over 150 active volunteers, working across many forms of support and services every day of the week.
We are fortunate to have the support of individuals, organisations and grant funders who believe in what we do and help us to make it happen, and we have a fantastic team of Trustees and Staff behind the doors keeping it all moving.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of the MAYFACS journey from its creation to now, making a difference.
We look forward to where the next 10 years takes us!!


We are proud that ALL of our activities are Volunteer led with the support of the MAYFACS Team in the Office.
