Christmas for Vulnerable Families in Cambridge - 06/11/2020

Thank you for your interest in helping out families in need across the city. To try and make things as easy as possible, the City Council have put together some links. The gift links are a little more local than usual as we are trying to encourage sustainability and support for suppliers closer to home. Please feel free however to use a different supplier to those we have listed if you have a preferred option.

Here are the ways you can help:

Gifts: We have wish lists if you would like to choose an item to buy and donate.
