A warm welcome for the new High Sheriff of Cambridgeshire

We were delighted to welcome Francis Burkitt DL, the new High Sheriff of Cambridgeshire, to the Cambridgeshire Community Foundation offices recently.

Trustees and staff had the opportunity to meet with Francis and share more about the Foundation’s work supporting local communities across Cambridgeshire – from small grassroots groups to larger organisations making an impact throughout the county.

The High Sheriff plays an important role in supporting charitable and community causes across the county, and we look forward to a productive partnership with Francis over the coming months.

It was fantastic to spend some time with Francis, who shares our ambition of creating a better Cambridgeshire. It is heartening to see such strong recognition of both the county’s many strengths and the real inequalities that still need addressing. We warmly welcome Francis’ commitment to working together to highlight the incredible work of charities and community groups in supporting local communities.
