A huge thank you to The City & University of Cambridge Masonic Charitable Trust for their generous annual donation of £2,000, presented at last week's community funding event, where a number of local organisations were recognised and supported.

This valued contribution helps us continue delivering vital services to people experiencing homelessness and hardship across Cambridge, at a time when demand for our support is greater than ever.

We are incredibly grateful for their continued commitment to our work and the positive difference it makes to the lives of those we support every day.

💙 Bon Voyage, Hannah!

This week we're saying goodbye to Hannah, who is leaving Wintercomfort after three years as a Weekend Project Worker to begin her career as a Doctor in Wi******er.

Alongside studying medicine, placements, and exams, Hannah dedicated her weekends to supporting our service users and providing essential welfare services.

Reflecting on her time with us, Hannah said: "I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know and supporting the service users. It was a very rewarding role, and I learned a lot from both the service users and the team."

Thank you, Hannah, for your dedication and compassion. We wish you every success in this exciting new chapter! 👏

🏃‍♀️ What a fantastic day at last week's Newmarket Half Marathon!

We were incredibly proud to be part of such a well-supported community event, bringing together runners, volunteers, supporters, and local organisations for an fantastic day.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part, cheered from the sidelines, volunteered their time, or supported Wintercomfort through the event. Your encouragement and generosity help us continue our work supporting people experiencing homelessness and hardship in our community.

We're delighted to share this video, produced by our partners at RunThrough, capturing some of the highlights and atmosphere from the day.

💙 FACT FRIDAY 💙

This year, Wintercomfort celebrates 35 years of supporting people across Cambridge.

For three and a half decades, we've been helping people facing homelessness and hardship to access support, rebuild confidence, improve wellbeing, and create lasting change in their lives. Along the way there have been many challenges, and the need for our services has continued to grow, but thanks to the support of our community, we're still here today, opening our doors to those who need us most.

As we celebrate this milestone, we'd love to hear from people who have been part of the Wintercomfort story. Whether you've been supported by Wintercomfort, know someone who has, volunteered with us, worked alongside us, or supported our work in another way, we'd love to hear your memories and experiences.

Your stories are part of our history, and we'd be delighted to share some of them as we celebrate 35 years of changing lives across Cambridge.

A huge thank you to everyone who supported Wintercomfort at the RunThrough Newmarket Half Marathon yesterday! 💙🏃‍♀️

We were proud to be this year's charity partner and to have an incredible team of runners taking on the 13.1-mile challenge in support of our work.

Together, our runners covered over half a million steps, raising vital funds that will help us continue providing practical support, advice, wellbeing services, and opportunities for lasting change for people experiencing homelessness and hardship across Cambridge.

It was fantastic to see so many people coming together, whether running, volunteering, donating, or cheering from the sidelines.

A special thank you to Majority, our corporate partner for the event. Their support, alongside that of our runners, donors, and volunteers, helped make the day such a success.

And if you'd still like to support our runners, there's still time to donate. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps us continue delivering support that has both an immediate impact and the potential to create lasting change.

We’re getting very excited for the RunThrough Newmarket Half Marathon this weekend! 🏃‍♀️

To mark the occasion, we spoke to Danielle, our Women’s Project Supervisor, about why she’s taking on the challenge for Wintercomfort:

“I am running the Newmarket Half Marathon this May for Wintercomfort. As the Women’s Project Supervisor, I see every day the difference that donations make to the people we support.

Every pound raised helps us provide meaningful support that encourages lasting change, whether that’s food to help someone focus on important forms, counselling to support recovery, or one-to-one key working through housing processes or domestic abuse support.

Wintercomfort is a remarkable place. It has helped countless people improve their wellbeing, move beyond trauma, gain employment, and secure permanent housing. But this work is only possible through continued support, especially as homelessness continues to rise.”

We’re looking forward to raising vital funds and sharing more about the work Wintercomfort does within the local community!
