Street Storage (Cambridge)
Imagine you had to leave home tonight with just enough time to grab one bag. What would you take?
Many people on the streets face the daily risk of their possessions being stolen, cleared away or destroyed. It Takes A City are about to open a new Street Storage project to provide a secure place for people in this situation to store their belongings.
We are looking for volunteers to help create a warm, welcoming space for people who store with us. Duties would include getting their bags and cases from the shelves in our storage unit when they drop in, as well as greeting people and being on hand to support our staff.
If you have some time to spare, we can offer a volunteering opportunity where you can make a real difference. Full training will be provided. Please complete this short form and we’ll get straight back to you.
Donating items to support our work
We welcome donations from individuals, businesses, faith groups, student societies and others who would like to help us make a home for our guests at Crossways, support vulnerable women accessing The Haven or those on the housing journey via our Survive & Thrive service.
We are always in need of the following; UHT milk, tinned goods, sugar, instant coffee, crisps, biscuits, chocolate, men’s deodorants, sleeping bags, warm clothing (coats, tracksuit bottoms, hoodies), but are happy to discuss any items you have available. If we receive more than we can use, we will always pass on to other local organisations working with those in need.
Please email itacdonations@itac.org.uk to arrange collection/delivery.
