Our modular homes have been featured on BBC Look East, bringing the work we are doing for people who have experienced homelessness to a wider audience across the East of England.

BBC reporter Emma Baugh visited the homes to see the warm, welcoming spaces we are creating. The report was broadcast on 7th November 2026 and is also available to read on the BBC News website: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cmly003g34x5o.

Of our modular homes, James Martin, Director of Cambridge Cyrenians, says:

“I’m really pleased we have managed to save these homes from being destroyed or lost from Cambridge’s limited housing provision.  The units will provide a valuable step in our resident’s journey from the streets to their own homes.  Being able to provide high-quality self-contained accommodation will allow people to prepare for their final step to independence and away from homelessness for good.”

We would like to thank Emma and the BBC Look East team for taking the time to tell this story, and for the care they took in doing so.

Support our modular homes during The Big Give

From noon on Tuesday 1 December until noon on Tuesday 8 December, every pound you give to Cambridge Cyrenians through The Big Give will be doubled.

We are aiming to raise £40,000 to provide five modular homes in Cambridge for people moving on from homelessness. Every year we support around 200 people in our city, and many are ready to leave shared accommodation but have nowhere affordable to go. Cambridge City Council’s Planning Committee unanimously approved the homes on 7 October, and work is due to start in early 2027.

Every gift counts, whatever the size, and each one brings five people closer to a home of their own.
