Our Club 500 is designed to celebrate the outstanding supporters of Cardiff City FC Community Foundation who are making a real difference in our local communities.
From running 125 laps around Cardiff City FC’s pitch to bravely abseiling down the side of Cardiff City Stadium, Club 500 is all about highlighting the people who have gone above and beyond in raising funds to support our work.
Our brilliant hall of Club 500 members have each raised £500 or more over the course of a year, and have access to exclusive Community Foundation benefits and goodie bags, including our limited-edition Community Foundation football scarf - exclusive to Club 500 members

MEET OUR CLUB 500 MEMBERS
Euan Hampton
Euan Hampton is the father of Griff, a proud participant in our age 5-11 Inclusive Kicks project. Euan decided to pedal for a purpose and took on the Carten100 challenge, a 100-mile cycling challenge that takes place annually, with riders cycling from Cardiff to Tenby. Euan raised an incredible £1,214 through the challenge, with funds raised going towards supporting the inclusive football sessions that his son attends.
Bethany Evans
Whether it’s endurance challenges like the Cardiff Bay Run and the Cardiff Half Marathon, or adrenaline events like our Abseil Challenge, Cardiff City FC season ticket holder Bethany has thrown herself into various challenges all in support of the Community Foundation. Through her ongoing fundraising efforts, Bethany has raised almost £600 for the Community Foundation and continues to champion the work that we do.
Jacob Lambert
Bluebirds fan Jacob Lambert went the extra mile - literally - to support Cardiff City FC Community Foundation. Jacob ran 125 laps around Cardiff City Stadium, a challenge that equates to over a full marathon in distance! The 2024/25 season marked 125 years since the founding of Riverside AFC, which later developed into Cardiff City Football Club, and Jacob chose 125 laps to celebrate the club's anniversary season. Jacob raised £620 through his 125 laps fundraiser and has secured a well-deserved place as a member of Club 500.
Liz Dawson
Cardiff City supporter Liz took on the 5k a Day Challenge in August 2025 and raised over £700! The challenge encouraged participants to complete 5km a day, however they choose – whether walking, running, rowing, or cycling – all while raising funds to support projects across South Wales. For Liz, it was the perfect way to stay active while caring for her son Oli, who recently underwent a major foot operation.
Rachel Honey, Stephanie May, Rob Cooper and Shikala Mansfield.
Rachel, Stephanie, Rob and Shikala all took the ultimate plunge and completed our Cardiff City FC Community Foundation Abseil Challenge in 2024, all raising over £500 towards our work. Our fundraisers took on the sky-high challenge, abseiling down the iconic Cardiff City Stadium, to raise vital funds for Cardiff City FC Community Foundation. The challenge invited lifelong Bluebirds fans and adventure seekers to step out of their comfort zones for a great cause.
We’d also like to give a special shoutout to our staff fundraisers, who have generously volunteered their time to raise money through a number of different challenges and events with Cardiff City FC Community Foundation. A huge thank you to Zac Lyndon-Jones and Matthew Pugh for all of your efforts.
