Over the last few years, we have worked in partnership with Embrace Cambridge, a university student group. They have invited us to numerous events aimed at supporting students to support our homeless neighbours and many of their members volunteer at Crossways.
In the weeks before Christmas, Embrace organised a donations drive at Queens, Pembroke, Clare, Sidney Sussex, and Emmanuel Colleges. Students were encouraged to clear their cupboards of any tinned goods, unopened packets and other items that could be used to provide comfort for our guests at Crossways.
Embrace delivered a carload of boxes, full of useful things, including many items that had clearly been purchased to donate to our cause. We thank Embrace for their continuing support. If you are a student who would like to find out more about how you can get involved with their work, please contact embracecambridge@gmail.com.
