Cambridge is the UK’s Most Unequal City. Together, We Can Help Make a Difference.
Through our aid, we empower individuals, help them to retain their dignity, and remind them that their community cares about them. Around half our aid is for the benefit of children and many recipients are single parents.
Every request given to Cambridge Aid is carefully scrutinised by our Trustees, without passing personal judgement. Most requests receive positive responses and we also make many suggestions for additional sources of help.
