You can support our charity simply by visiting our Coffee Shop or by using our catering services.
Our volunteers support our operations across a variety of activities, from providing training in the bakery and kitchen, to helping in our Coffee Shop and assisting with maintenance around the premises, to making deliveries and helping to fundraise.
Each and every volunteer is a vital member of our team, no matter how much time they are able to give, we are very grateful for their commitment. We will find a role suitable for each volunteer that develops their skills and interests, whilst allowing them to give back to the community.
If you would like to find out more or become a volunteer, please contact us.
If you are aged 12-25 you have also the opportunity to gain Saltire Awards. These nationally recognised certificates reward young people for their commitment, contribution and achievements, allowing you to develop your CV. For more information about Saltire Awards please visit www.saltireawards.org.uk.

In order to meet demand, we would like to increase the number of trainee places we are able to offer. The ‘Sponsor a Trainee Place’ scheme enables individuals or organisations to sponsor a training place for a year, ensuring that we do not need to turn potential trainees away due to lack of funding. To find out how you can help please contact us.
We source work placements and employment opportunities for our trainees in order to support their learning.
Trainees are carefully assessed on ability and matched to local businesses and potential placements within the community.
These placements can take the following forms:
Our aim is to equip our trainees with transferable skills that can be of value to employers.
Our trainees are fully supported by a member of Fly Cup staff at the commencement of their placement with an employer until they are confident to work unsupported.
If you are able to offer a placement or would like to find out more, please contact us.

Easyfundraising works with over 3000 retailers who have all agreed to give a donation to Fly Cup Catering when you shop online with them. The donation is usually a percentage of how much you spend. It doesn’t cost you a penny extra.
Register for free with Easyfundraising and enter Fly Cup Enterprises as the cause you wish to support. To raise money, instead of going directly to the retailer website, log in to easyfundraising first and click on the retailer you want to shop with. You’ll then be taken to the retailer’s website where you shop as normal, but because you visited easyfundraising first, Fly Cup Enterprises will get a donation. It really is that simple.
