Over the past month Alice Gilderdale, our Information and Engagement Officer, worked closely with students at Cambridge University Embrace, organising a campaign to support our homeless neighbours by raising awareness and gathering donations.
As the academic year came to a close, we worked with a range of Cambridge colleges to collect food donations from students returning home. The donations were organised by Embrace and delivered to the distribution centre run by Cambridge Sustainable Food.
The donations will be sent to the seven food hubs across the city, providing help to any residents who are in need. As we’re facing a cost of living crisis, many more residents may depend on support from these vital organisations. For further information on the food hubs and their opening hours, visit Street Support Cambridgeshire.
We are really proud to announce that the food donated weighed a total of 662kg, over half a ton! Thank you to undergraduate and graduate students at Corpus, Pembroke, Trinity Hall, St Catharine’s, Jesus, Girton and Robinson.
