Support MAYFACS at CO-OP (Nationwide)
Support MAYFACS by joining the CO-OP and raising funds for Youth Activities within our Community
MAYFACS are now one of the collecting charities for Co-op Community Local Fund for the next 12 months (from October 25) which means the more people we get sign up as members of the Co-op, or the more existing members who choose to support us as their local cause, the more funds we receive.
The funding is not based on how much money is spent instore by members, it is all based on number of members supporting our cause. And you do not need to be local to us either so family and friends can also support MAYFACS from afar!
We also get bonus funding for new members downloading the app and selecting our local cause, as well as bonus opportunities for members to be entered into prize draws throughout the year!
Therefore, if you are already Co-op members and can go into your account and select MAYFACS as your local cause that would be amazing.
If you aren't a member and would consider downloading the app and selecting MAYFACS as your local cause, follow the button below to sign up, and don’t forget to choose MAYFACS as your local cause!
If you have any problems accessing your account or need support logging in or signing up - please come and see us and we will be more than happy to help!
The funding from @coopuk Local Community Fund will support Youth activities within the community. See below info.
Mayfield & Five Ashes Community Services is part of the @coopuk Local Community Fund. Download the Co-op App, become a member and choose our cause, so we can receive a share of £5m.
CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
We would like to develop our Create @ The Shed Youth sessions and youth support, providing a safe space for young people to build friendships and access support, while learning creative skills and mindful activities.
18.5% of the population of our parish are aged 5-19 (736 young people). Being a rural parish, isolation is a big issue, especially among our young people. Limited access, both physically and financially, to support and activities that are provided in local towns means that many do not get the help they need outside of school. Building resilience, connections, emotional intelligence, confidence and a safe support network are crucial.
Our Create sessions bring our young people together, to support each other and connect in the safe and peaceful setting of our community shed. With the help of local creative volunteers, they access new opportunities and learn together. We want to build this support with outreach sessions from existing support organisations.
