A Huge Thank You to AVIVA for Supporting Kyra Through Sport
In June, AVIVA hosted a brilliant charity netball and football tournament—bringing together York businesses, charities, and communities to raise funds for Kyra and Menfulness.
We’re thrilled to share that the event raised £25,165 – equally shared between Kyra and Menfulness. This incredible total will go a long way in helping us continue our work supporting women across York.
Team Kyra Took to the Court
Our team played seven back-to-back netball games—15 minutes each. It was full-on, sweaty, and honestly, absolutely knackering. But also such a joyful, energising day. We saw amazing teams from across the city: Portakabin, Better Connect, and many more. It was heartening to see so many people get stuck in and show support—not just for Kyra, but for what community means.
Why This Matters
For Kyra, fundraising like this is a lifeline. These funds could help us:
- Offer additional counselling and mental health sessions
- Expand creative wellbeing activities
- Keep our doors open to any woman who needs us
In a time where small charities are stretched, this kind of support helps us do more—and reach more women.
Thank You, AVIVA
To everyone who helped organise, donated, or joined in: thank you. You’ve made a real difference, and we’re so grateful.
