Greater Cambridge Impact Catalysing Social Innovation and Better Outcomes

Welcome to Greater Cambridge Impact, an innovative initiative dedicated to addressing the most pressing social challenges in the Cambridge area.

Our Vision

The prosperity driven by our world-class university and technology sector is not benefitting all; parts of our community still face significant issues such as homelessness, health disparities, lack of access to quality education, and barriers to economic opportunity.
Greater Cambridge Impact aims to tackle these systemic problems head-on. We're building a collaborative approach centred on strategic partnerships, capacity building, and social impact investment. Our goal is to empower local charities, social enterprises, and community initiatives to develop, test, and scale solutions with meaningful and measurable impact.

Our Mission

Our mission is to engage strategically in the Greater Cambridge area to measurably improve outcomes for the most vulnerable, address inequality, and transform lives. This will be achieved by collaborating closely with social impact experts, academic thought leaders, the local social sector, and the wider community. We are committed to driving identified and measured outcomes through a multi-stakeholder approach grounded in the principles of inclusive growth, targeted interventions, partnership working, and impactful social economy organisations.

The board comprises local stakeholders and Social Investment, Social Enterprise, and Innovation experts, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the local context and the necessary expertise to drive our mission.
