    Situation

    Cambridge is well-reported as the most unequal city in England. We operate in the socially and economically disadvantaged areas of North Cambridge - an area where there is often a reliance on welfare and social care. This can perpetuate the cycle for many families in our community; creating a ‘poverty trap’ for future generations. We aim to break this cycle, by encouraging and supporting families from dependence to independence, through a range of strategies and activities.

    Solution

    Our mission is to create a supportive and self-reliant community where children can take advantage of every opportunity to contribute fully to society and fulfil their lives. We provide early intervention through one-to-one family support in the home deliver our services in the heart of the community, and with the support of the community co-operate and collaborate with other charities, voluntary bodies and statutory authorities
