Support Us

Your compassion creates change

The Whitworth Trust is a very small organisation of volunteers, and relies entirely on the generosity of supporters. Every contribution — big or small — directly supports vulnerable young women in Cambridge.

Help Residents Move On

Residents face huge hurdles finding affordable housing in Cambridge. If you're a landlord who might offer move-on accommodation, or can suggest suitable housing, please get in touch.

Fundraise for the Trust

We rely entirely on the generosity of supporters and local groups like the Ely Diocesan Mothers' Union, Cambridge Soroptimists, and CHOP. We'd be delighted to have you fundraise on our behalf.

🤝

Volunteer or Join Us

We're always looking for willing volunteers and committee members — especially those with experience in charities, local government, academic research, or the housing sector.

Ready to make a donation?

All gifts are very gratefully received. Please write to us to let us know about your gift — we would love to be able to thank you! We don't receive contact details through the donate button or bank transfer.

Corporate Sponsorship

We are always very grateful for corporate support. In the past, businesses have kindly covered expenses for fundraising events, fundraised on our behalf, offered donations, and donated specific items to residents. Please get in touch if you would like to offer support.

Employment Opportunities

We welcome any offers of suitable employment or suggestions regarding positions for residents of the House. In some instances, securing employment is the key to residents moving on and finding alternative accommodation.

"When you support a young woman in finding safety and stability, you're not just changing one life — you're changing the future of a whole community."
