Cambridge Cyrenians provides housing and Wellbeing and specialist support (Wellbeing and Independence Services) for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness in Cambridge. Our services focus on creating safe, stable homes and offering tailored support that helps people rebuild their lives with dignity and confidence.
Cambridge Cyrenians' Meaningful Activities project helps people experiencing homelessness who are in our services to access education, training and volunteering opportunities. We support them on their journey towards employment and independence.
