Addenbrooke's Abroad

 

 

Addenbrooke's Abroad was established in 2006 in response to the increasing realisation within the NHS and Cambridge University Hospitals that engaging with global health has benefits for patients and health care workers both overseas and in the UK. The main aim of Addenbrooke's Abroad is to support positive, sustainable change in healthcare by facilitating international partnerships (Links) with hospitals and health organisations in the developing world.

 

 

Cambridge Africa Programme

 

 

The CAMBRIDGE-AFRICA Programme (which incorporates THRiVE, CAPREx, MUII, Alborada Fund and the WT-CCGHR initiatives) aims to strengthen Africa's own capacity for a sustainable research and mentoring culture, by cultivating the talented individuals who will make this long-term goal a reality. The Programme emerged from a number of individual, long-term, collaborations between Cambridge and African researchers, and now consists of a range of initiatives covering many subject areas, with coordinated cross-collaboration as a common but essential theme.

 

Cambridge Homeless Outreach Program (CHOP)

 

 

Do you want to help your local homeless community but are not sure how? Get in contact with the Cambridge Homeless Outreach Program! We are a registered CUSU organisation aiming to harness the energy and passion of Cambridge students to fight homelessness in Cambridge. Whether you want to work in a garden, lead a music or art class, or generally work at a shelter, our aim is to provide a variety of opportunities by partnering with local organisations like Jimmy's, Wintercomfort, and Cambridge Cyrenians. Additionally, if you are interested in addressing the issue of food waste and hunger in our community, we are currently working to form a delivery service that salvages excess food from local businesses for redistribution to those in need.
