Cambridge Cyrenians Providing housing and specialist support services for people experiencing homelessness in Cambridge for over 55 years. Changing lives...for good. 🏡🩵

Cambridge Cyrenians is a local charity working to prevent and relieve homelessness in Cambridge. For over 55 years, we have provided safe, stable homes and specialist support to people who are homeless or at risk of losing their home. We believe that everyone deserves a place where they feel safe, respected and supported. That’s why we focus on providing real homes - not hostels - alongside practical and emotional support that helps people rebuild their lives. https://cambridgecyrenians.org.uk/

Last week, our Art Collab group tried macrame for the first time, creating plant potholders to take home. Not only are these arts and crafts sessions therapeutic and great for mental health for our members with experience of homelessness, they also offer new experiences, the opportunity for cake, coffees and teas and catching up with others. Have a look at what we got up to! 🪴

A few weeks ago, we put out a call for plants and decorations for one of our supported houses. You delivered!

Thanks to the generosity of Darwin Nurseries & Farm Shop, Cultivating Change and supporters at Horsley Hale Farm, the garden has been completely transformed with plants, seeds and furniture our residents can enjoy.

Watch this space for a garden update photo soon! 🪴🌿

A huge thank you to Ana from CAMYOGA for giving up her time to run a free yoga session for our residents last week.

Moments like this matter so much for people experiencing homelessness. An hour of calm, care and connecting with others can go a long way.

Our residents loved it!

Yesterday, some of our residents swapped the usual routine for fresh air, sunshine and a picnic in Thetford Forest. We walked one of the trails, admired the trees, and shared stories. It was a great day! 🌲😊

Our residents have been enjoying our brand-new 'Get Active Together' sports sessions! 🏸⚽

So far, we've enjoyed football and badminton games, with more to come. These sessions help to keep people moving and encourage participants to have fun and form friendships.

It's World Therapeutic Horticulture Day! 🪴

Our allotment isn't just a place to grow plants, fruit and veggies. It's where friendships are formed over compost and cups of tea. Where people heal and feel peace, sometimes for the first time in a long while. It's where wildlife and people beautifully come together to share a space as one.

THAT is therapeutic horticulture, and we love it. 🩵

Homelessness doesn't stop being a challenge when you get older. Often, it gets harder.

Cambridge Cyrenians' Older Homeless Service supports people aged 45 and over who have experienced, or at risk of, homelessness. At an age when stability matters more than ever, we help people secure safe housing, maintain their tenancy, and stay connected to the health services they need, including their GP.

The result? Fewer hospital admissions. More independence. And people who finally have somewhere to call home.

In 2025, 56 people received that support. People we continue to work alongside today.

£1,000 funds four months of personalised support for one person. If you would like to support this service, or find out more, visit the link below.
