It has been an honour to work with our partners in bringing this project to life in Cambridge, supporting both the high street and the arts sector and creating a feel-good factor within the city as we begin to emerge from what has been such a challenging period for everyone.

I’ve been blown away by Cambridge’s generous support. Thank you to each and every person and business who placed their bids last night. No young person in Break’s care has chosen their start to life. Every penny of this phenomenal total means we can raise aspirations, provide safe and stable homes and remove all limits on what children on the edge of care, in care and leaving care are able to achieve in Cambridgeshire.

Originally planned for spring 2020, Cows about Cambridge was perfectly timed this year. As the city began to welcome back visitors over the summer, the trail became a real focal point and has also helped residents reconnect with their city in a family-friendly, fun and safe way. The auction total is fantastic and the energy in the room was great – people have really missed the buzz of getting together.
