Support like what Helen received, truly changes lives. Nobody should have to struggle alone, and we’ll continue to be there to support those in need.

We took action, helping her top up her utilities, get medical care, and, most recently, raising a safeguarding concern that led to a new care package.
Now, Helen has carers visiting twice a day, attends a Day Centre, and has a cleaner and walking aids to help her regain her independence.

Her home was dangerously cluttered, she hadn’t had heating since before Christmas, and her health was suffering. When Cambridge Cyrenians’ Older Homeless Service team stepped in, we found she was living with mounting debt, unable to attend doctors' appointments, and at serious risk of self-neglect.

Together, we can support women on their journey to stability and independence.

Already vulnerable, homelessness only increases their risk, leaving them even more susceptible to further harm.
At Cambridge Cyrenians, we are here for them. Our women-only accommodation in Cambridge is a safe, secure, and supportive environment that meets both emotional and psychological needs.

This randomised controlled trial will compare the experiences of 360 individuals receiving personalised budgets with those who do not, helping to shape future support strategies across our organisations. Interim findings are expected in Autumn 2025...stay tuned!

One of John’s greatest achievements was reconnecting with his children, a dream he once thought was out of reach.
Today, he’s not just building a brighter future for himself but also playing a meaningful role in his family’s life.

With support from our mental health practitioner, he confronted long-standing struggles, regained stability, and took the next step into a move-on house.
Determined to create a better future, John completed a business course and transitioned into a training flat with ongoing mental health support.
