Firefly is a startup non-profit organisation that wants to help all of our local charities and create new projects to help all those that live in our town of Colchester, Essex. Whether you have lived here all your life or have recently moved here, you can see that Colchester is full of generous and kind people. Firefly would like to bring our community together and show the rest of the country what happens when we all focus on the needs of the community and how we can tackle the issues that affect us all.
As a newly starting non-profit organisation, Firefly will be meeting with local charities in hopes of helping to recruit volunteers, fundraise and give a voice to those that need help. Our organisation will be fundraising and volunteering for projects that have social, environmental and cultural benefits to the residents of Colchester.
Firefly would like to hear from residents, charities and local businesses. Please share your thoughts with us. What would you like to see in Colchester? Who is in need of help, and what can our community do?
Currently, we are working on the following projects. More details of each project will be announced soon.
Warm Hearts, Warm Clothes - Donation drive to give our homeless warm clothes and blankets
Memory Lane Sing-a-long -For many of our elderly that are in care facilities, a good sing a long of their favourite songs can brighten up their day.
Colchester Wild Life Watch - Many of our wildlife need help from our community. Many projects to raise awareness of how to help local wildlife.
Travelling Art Studio - Many children have difficulty expressing themselves. This family art studio would like to come to a venue near you for some artistic crafts that allow children of all ages to have fun and be an artist.
Local Charities Promotions – Many of our small local charities do amazing things for the residents of our town. However, some struggle to get the funding they need. Look out for events that will showcase the amazing work done by locals to help those in need.
Firefly Community Action Projects is still in the beginning stages. We are group of Colchester residents who volunteer for many of our local charities and would like to do more for our town. Currently, we are fundraising not only for local charities but for our local projects.
If you have any suggestions for projects or would like to help, please contact us.
