Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
On the 18th June 2021 the boys of Choir House, King's Ely, are going to camp out for the night and have fun. We are going to play games, have delicious Pizza, mugs of hot chocolate and marshmallows and be warm in our tents. After our night under canvas we will return to comfortable beds, regular meals and a safe and secure environment - we are lucky but we know that many people are not as fortunate as ourselves and we would like to help in some small way people in our community.
Many people are homeless and not by choice. Jimmy's Cambridge not only provides shelter and a hot meal for vulnerable individuals in Cambridge and surrounding area but also provides support for those who are homeless due to alcohol or drug abuse. Jimmy's Cambridge also provides short term accommodation in purpose built individual shelters that contain all the necessary white goods which enables an individual to have space and security and a better chance of getting back on their feet. A donation of £10 provides a welcome pack of essential items for each new resident to meet immediate needs and make them feel welcome at Jimmy's. A week of hot meals for an individual costs £20, and £50 will support someone needing emergency winter care which will include a bed, sleeping bag, clothing, essential items, a hot meal and other necessary support. Jimmy's Cambridge offers 24/7 emergency help, support and accommodation 365 days a year for those who would otherwise be sleeping rough.
