Fundraising from the Clyst Hydon Huff

Every step you take in the Clyst Hydon Huff helps to strengthen our local community. The funds raised from this event go directly to four key facilities that bring people together and keep our village thriving: Clyst Hydon Swimming Pool, Clyst Hydon Cricket Club, Clyst Hydon Primary School, and the Devon Air Ambulance.

By running, you’re not just taking part in a fantastic event - you’re helping to support sports, education, and community life for everyone in Clyst Hydon and the wider area. Here’s how your entry fee is making a difference.

Five Bells Pub

Re-opening last year, as a community pub, the new look Five Bells has already hosted many fantastic events. As an exciting addition to this years’ Huff, the Five Bells will host the finish, presentation and post-race fun.

The pub will benefit from food and drink sales throughout the event, so you can get your fill, while supporting another fantastic cause. Check out the pub’s upcoming events.

Clyst Hydon Primary School 📚

Our village school is a small but vital part of Clyst Hydon, giving children a great start in life. The funds raised from this event will go towards learning resources, and improvements to the outdoor play areas, creating a better environment for pupils to learn, grow, and enjoy their time at school.

Clyst Hydon Swimming Pool 🏊

Not many villages can boast of a village pool. For those who have been, you will know the feeling of a refreshing weekend dip on a hot summers’ day! The pool draws crowds from the village and far beyond, bringing communities together and keeping people active. A portion of the money raised will be going to the swimming pool, to ensure this amazing facility can stay open to the local community. Visit the Clyst Hydon swimming pool’s Facebook page to learn more.

Devon Air Ambulance 🚁

Devon Air Ambulance provides lifesaving emergency medical care across the county, ensuring critically ill and injured patients get the urgent attention they need. As an independent charity, they rely entirely on public donations to keep their helicopters flying and their expert teams ready to respond.

Funds raised will help support the ongoing costs of maintaining, equipping, and operating the service, ensuring they can continue to be there for those in need – whenever and wherever help is required.
