“Charities play a fundamental role in our civic life. They are often in the front line of support for the most vulnerable and are therefore in the best place to assess their needs. They not only provide. They inspire and innovate and through their advocacy help shape our laws, government policies and society as a whole.”

Day in and day out, the team at Support Cambridgeshire sees the impact that small charities have on people and communities across the county. We see the difference that volunteers make. We see the dedication of the staff, volunteers and trustees to deliver with passion, commitment and imagination. We also hear about the challenges they face and the support they need.

Our annual State of the Sector Survey aims to capture a snapshot of the voluntary and community sector in Cambridgeshire, along with the views of the people on the frontline, delivering services to local communities.
