Cambridge Street Aid Week is running from 7 to 13 October.
This year, Cambridge Street Aid aims to highlight that small donations can make a big impact to those that are rough sleeping on the streets of Cambridge.
A donation can be as little as £3 – the average price for a coffee. Because Street Aid pools together donations, it can provide meaningful grants that make a real difference to people’s lives. Grants provide practical support to help people get off, and stay off, the streets.
Since Street Aid started in 2016, over 600 grants have been awarded and with your help we have raised more than £210,000.
2024 events
On Monday 7 October, visit the Cambridge Street Aid team next to the John Lewis entrance in the Grand Arcade to talk about our work supporting people on the streets.
On Wednesday 9 October from 10am to 4pm, join us and our partner organisations at our partner agency promotion event. We’ll be showcasing the crucial work that support agencies and charities undertake in Cambridge to help people on the streets make lasting change and educate the public on the support available.
Wednesday’s event will be held in the Let’s Go Circular unit, on the first floor of the Grand Arcade.
