Jimmy’s Winter Fundraiser With the cost of living crisis, homelessness is becoming a problem that affects more and more people. Last winter, we ran a fundraiser for Jimmy’s in an aim to help the homeless community in Cambridge. It was so successful, we have decided to do it again this year! You can do your bit by making just a small donation. We will be accepting donations from 4th to 18th December. Click on the poster to see which items you could donate.

Degree Apprenticeships Workshop Our careers team have organised several events focused on Degree Apprenticeships. Natalie Philips of the ASK Programme delivered the most recent workshop, and two apprentices from Deloitte talked about their experiences. More workshops are available for January, which you can book here.
