We identify the needs of our community,
raise funds and award grants to local charitable causes.

Cambridgeshire Community Foundation helps donors (including local people, families, companies, national and local government, and other charities) to learn about and support local charitable causes that are of interest to them. We enable donations both big and small to reach local charities and good causes that are working to improve the quality of life for local people. We are working to help address both needs that exist in our local communities today, and the needs of tomorrow through building endowed funds that create a sustainable source of grant making into the future

By building our understanding of needs, the support and trust of donors and voluntary and community groups, and ensuring the impact of our work is communicated, we aim to develop our role as a community catalyst and convener. We are therefore a type of charitable trust working in Cambridgeshire as a grant-maker, endowment builder and community leader.

We believe no one should have to spend winter in a cold home. Yet over 30,000 households across Cambridgeshire are predicted to experience fuel poverty this year.

That’s why we’re launching our annual Surviving Winter Appeal, to help local families and individuals stay warm, safe, and well.

We’re delighted that MM Wealth has helped us launch this year’s appeal with a £7,500 donation, taking us halfway to our £15,000 target. Now, we’re inviting local people and businesses to help us raise the remaining £7,500.

Every donation goes towards energy costs for households facing fuel poverty, such as topping up prepayment meters, covering gas and electricity bills, or paying for heating oil deliveries.

Donate today and help more local people stay warm this winter: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/winter2627

More than £7000 has been donated to Cambridgeshire Community Foundation to support those in need.

Last week, we shared how businesses like Cambscuisine work with us to support local communities.

This is the impact.

🎥 Meet Abbey in Cambridge, a charity in East Cambridge helping people move from surviving to thriving.

They offer welcoming spaces where local people can access support, advice, friendship and activities that help build a stronger, more connected community.

A recent grant from the Cambscuisine Community Fund has supported a variety of their activities, including a parent and toddler group, community gardening activities, coffee mornings and drop-in sessions where people can get practical help and advice when they need it most.

Could your business work with us to help organisations like Abbey People continue to provide the welcoming spaces and vital support that local people rely on?

For customers at Cambscuisine's restaurants and pubs, a £1 optional donation added to bills over £50 helps raise around £75,000 every year to support local charities and community groups.

Last week, our Deputy CEO, Vivienne Atkinson took two of our new Project Visitor volunteers to meet Earth & Mind CIC at Milton Country Park.

Our Project Visitors help us get out and meet as many of the charities we fund as possible, so we can see their work first-hand and hear what would help them most.

On our visit we played nature bingo at the Wild Wellbeing Café and saw Earth & Mind in action over a cup of (foraged) lemon verbena tea and some delicious cake. It was fantastic to see connections with nature having such positive impacts on the lives of the people supported by their work.

As one beneficiary of a previous Earth & Mind programme told us: "Coming to the group has given me something to really look forward to. It's a life saver, I have more energy and motivation."

Thank you to Emily, Mike and all at Earth & Mind for the warm welcome and for sharing their amazing work with our team.

And thank you to our new Project Visitors. You're helping us better understand and support charities across the county.
