About us
Who we are
Cambridge House
A London-based centre fighting poverty, social inequity and injustice
As an independent charity, Cambridge House is committed to promoting change that can improve the quality of life and wellbeing of people who are affected by the systemic poverty, social injustice and inequality in our society.
Our culture and values
At Cambridge House, we work to tackle the impacts and root causes of poverty, social inequity and injustice experienced by those in our communities, providing people with the support, advice and opportunities they need to improve their lives.
From campaigning for safer conditions and security for renters to offering free expert legal services in housing, employment and benefits law, to the delivery of youth and disabled people’s empowerment projects or helping support the development of social policy and practice through our research and knowledge exchange; everything we do is focused on our core mission of transforming lives and transforming society.
Transforming lives
We support people with incomes below the poverty line, and those facing multiple barriers because of social injustice and inequity. We work in partnership with people, helping empower them to stabilise their lives during times of crisis and improve the quality of their lives in the longer term.
