Charity People actively promote equality, diversity, and inclusion. We match charities needs with the skills and experience of candidates, irrespective of age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation. We do this because we know greater diversity will lead to even greater results for the charities with which we work.
Do you want to make a difference to the lives of those living in Cambridgeshire?
Care Network Cambridgeshire is a registered charity working with adults to provide practical and emotional support to people after hospital stays or during periods of ill-health, empowering people to live happier, healthier, and independent lives. We work alongside local people to improve confidence and connections, and we’re committed to finding innovative ways to support our local communities, filling gaps in health and social care services.
Our vision is for individuals to choose their own independent lifestyle and social activities, provided with the information and support they need. Our aim is that health and well-being of individuals is improved or maintained, hospital stays are minimised, and recovery is as fast as possible.
Last year our services received 3,832 referrals for help, from these we made over 16,000 contacts with local people, providing support when they most needed help. Our wonderful team of volunteers helped us to achieve this, providing 452 hours of assistance.
