Cambridge House is a social action charity tackling poverty and social injustice. We provide frontline services that tackle social exclusion and enable people to transition out of crisis and progress towards independence. We pursue a vision of a society without poverty where all people are valued, treated equally and lead fulfilling and productive lives. Our services work with three vulnerable gro
ups over three key life stages:
People We Support
1. Children and adults with mental health conditions
Life Stages We Support
1. Transition to adulthood
2. Transition to independence
3. Transition to self-sufficiency
We’ve delivered in Southwark for 127 years. Working both regionally and nationally, we remain firmly rooted in our local community. Our frontline services include specialist legal advice and representation, independent advocacy, and support for victims of criminal landlords. We also provide therapeutic arts & sports services for people with disabilities, intensive intervention programmes for severely disadvantaged young people and innovative ‘Sports for Social Justice' working to tackle the root causes of discrimination and social injustice. We promote innovation through research & knowledge exchange, using the experience we gain by working with people forced to the margins of society to produce new knowledge about how best to tackle the biggest social challenges facing society today. to challenge public perception and stigma, shape research and knowledge exchange activities, and promote systems change. We are founding members of Locality and the International Federation of Settlements. We are also the UK Partner of PL4Y International.
