Support an Existing Fund
Our Funds help causes such as homelessness, cancer care, supporting children in care and celebrating young people’s contribution to the community.
All our funds welcome donations of any size to help them increase their impact.
For more details on our funds please visit Grants to Apply For.
We also have two area based funds – for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. At the discretion of our trustees, these are used to support groups helping disadvantaged people. They can respond flexibly as and when new issues arise.
For more information, please contact Michael O’Toole on 01223 410535 or michael@cambscf.org.uk.
