There are only 7 Monday's until Christmas (🤯), the nights are drawing in, the festive playlist is defrosting - and we have launched our Winter Appeal!🎄

Head to our website to found out how you can support us during the winter months: https://www.jimmyscambridge.org.uk/support-our-winter-appeal/

Every gift helps us keep our doors open, ready for anyone who needs us this winter and beyond for the journey that follows, whatever that looks like.💜

🎃 Meet Freddie and Penny! 🎃

This spooky pair were grown by our residents in the garden at our 451 hostel, and carved by a couple of members of our team for Halloween. 👻

It’s a good reminder that if you give something a bit of time, care and patience - it can grow and flourish. The same goes for the people we support. 💜🌱

Happy Halloween from all of us at Jimmy’s!

Our Harvest donations don’t sort themselves...Luckily, we had help! 📦

Last week, teams from Woodfines Solicitors, The Cambridge Building Society, Reed in Partnership and Northmores spent every single day at Jimmy’s checking, sorting, shelving and organising all of our donations across our pantry rooms.

And this week, a team from Riverlane are joining us to sort the rest.

Thank you for showing up, getting stuck in and bringing so much energy! Our shelves are now looking lovely and full. 💜

We’re so grateful to all of our Corporate Harvest Partners for providing multiple drop-off points in and around Cambridge, which helped us receive as many donations as possible, and to everyone who donated goods during Harvest. 🙏

Want your team involved in next year’s Corporate Harvest or our upcoming Winter Appeal? Drop Amaya an email at [email protected] 📤

Meet Eleanor - one of the Jimmy's Joggers running the Cambridge Half Marathon in 2027 in memory of her mum, raising money for Jimmy's. 💜

When we asked Eleanor why she was running, she told us:

"I am running for Jimmy's in memory of my mother, Janet Toye, who had a huge heart for homeless people. After moving to Cambridge, she volunteered with the Cambridge Churches Homelessness Project. She died in 2025 and left the majority of her estate to Jimmy's. I'm running for Jimmy's to build on her legacy and raise even more money to help them create a fantastic new centre in Cambridge."

Eleanor - among many others - will be wearing her Jimmy's Jogger shirt in support of Jimmy's and the work we do.

👉 Want to join her? We have a small number of spaces left to join our Jimmy's Joggers - sign up here: https://register.enthuse.com/ps/event/JimmysCambridgeHalf2027

🗨️"We're no different from anyone else...I just don't like being looked down on."

When we asked members of our team and residents the one thing they wish people knew or understood about homelessness - this was the answer from one of our residents.

Today is World Homeless Day, but for our team and the people we support - it's every day. We help people take vital steps from Street Floor to Front Door, in whatever form that takes. We meet people where they are, without judgement and always with hope. 💜

If you want to support, today or on any day, start with kindness. See the person, not the circumstance.

I had the honour of hosting Jimmy's Cambridge’s Gala Dinner last week in the Great Hall of my university college King's College!

It meant a lot to host the night and find a careful balance between ensuring the evening was fun and entertaining, whilst also highlighting, and fundraising for, the vital work Jimmy’s do to support Cambridge’s most vulnerable people.

And what a venue to do it in!

Last Wednesday, we welcomed a room full of people in the iconic dining hall at King's College for our Gala Dinner! ✨

There was magic in the air (and not just from our magician 🪄). It was such a joy to spend the evening with so many people who care about this city and the people in it as much as we do. 💜

A huge thank you to our Gold Sponsor OpenArch, our brilliant speakers Hannah and Matt, and our fantastic MC Greg Foot. And thank you to everyone who chose to spend their evening with us.

There was a particular moment from the evening that truly stood out - when Matt shared his deeply personal story of lived experience, where the room erupted in applause. It was a beautiful moment, and a reminder that behind every number is a person, and that when a community comes together, real change happens. For every person who comes through our doors, there is hope and opportunity. 💜

Stay tuned for future events and ways to get involved and support Jimmy's, as we continue supporting people sleeping rough in Cambridge on their journey from Street Floor to Front Door.
