Our supporters
The Cambridge Homelessness Charter is only possible because of the organisations and individuals who choose to stand together and take action.
Our supporters include charities, businesses, public services and community organisations, who all contribute time, expertise, resources or funding to help make homelessness and rough sleeping in Cambridge rare, brief and non-recurring.
Together, this growing network is helping to create a more coordinated, compassionate and effective response to homelessness across the city
Thanks to the commitment of our supporters, the Charter has helped:
people gained access to support, advice or services over and above existing pathways
new health and employment pathways created between organisations and people with lived experience
organisations now collaborating across Cambridge

The Charter includes over 150 members representing more than 90 organisations, and the network continues to expand. Our supporters play different roles but share a common belief that homelessness in Cambridge can only be addressed through collaboration.

We are committed to playing an active role in addressing the challenges people face within our community and by working with our charity partners we can create long lasting and practical change together.
u003cpu003eBidwells supports the Cambridge Homelessness Charter because we care about whatu0026rsquo;s happening in our city and the people who live here. By working with the Charter and local organisations such as It Takes A City, weu0026rsquo;ve been able to get involved in volunteering, encourage colleagues to take part, and join conversations about how work and training can help people move on from homelessness.u003c/pu003eu003cpu003eWeu0026rsquo;re keen to keep listening, learning and working alongside others to support the Charteru0026rsquo;s long-term work and help make a positive difference across Cambridge.u003c/pu003e
u003cpu003eWhile there is already a lot of excellent work being done within Cambridge to prevent and tackle homelessness, no one organisation can achieve an end to homelessness on its own. There are many and varied reasons why people become and remain homeless, and working towards this ambitious goal requires a whole-society approach, with the voices of people who have experienced homelessness at the centre.u003c/pu003eu003cpu003eWhile publicising and celebrating what is already being done, we want to leverage the good will and expertise of individuals and organisations across Cambridge to build a broader movement for change, move the public and media conversation away from the common stereotypes, and work together towards the goal of ending homelessness.u003c/pu003e
It takes a city
