We are collecting this Christmas for Cambridge Aid, who are doing extensive life-saving work at this extremely difficult time, when there is much hardship and anxiety arising particularly as a result of the pandemic.
Cambridge Aid is a long established charity which now acts in support of other local charities and agencies who refer those in need for emergency funding. This is usually to help those in need through a crisis period and avoid resort to money lenders. Support is very wide-ranging including for homeless people, victims of domestic violence, single parents on basic benefits, children’s needs, those suffering from physical or mental health difficulties. Applications increased 32% between July and September, year on year.
Their reference-bank role means they have minimal administration costs so all money they receive will go to help people in the Cambridge area.
