Greater Cambridge Impact (GCI) aims to raise a 10-year, £10 million investment pot that will deliver lasting, measurable change in areas including homelessness and children in care.

GCI was created by Cambridge City Council, with support also pledged from the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority, with both authorities investing £1million each.

Cambridge Building Society recently announced an investment of £1million. Read more from the Cambridge Building Society. 

Cllr Cameron Holloway, Leader of Cambridge City Council, said: “We are fortunate to have organisations like The Cambridge who share our vision for One Cambridge, fair for all, and are prepared to back that up with investment on this scale. We had a vision to create a new way to enable Cambridge’s organisations to invest in our communities, and we committed an initial £1 million investment to get Greater Cambridge Impact off the ground.

“It’s a real milestone to have The Cambridge join us on this journey as our first social investor - we hope, the first of many. Working together, we can make a real difference to the lives of people in need in our city."
