At Cambridge House we work to tackle social exclusion and enable people to transition out of crisis and progress towards independence.
Our vision is of a society without poverty where all people are valued, treated equally and lead fulfilling and productive lives.
We work with three vulnerable groups over three key life stages:
| People We Support | Life Stages We Support |
| 1. Young people and adults in crisis | 1. Transition to adulthood |
| 2. Disabled adults and children | 2. Transition to independence |
| 3. Children and adults with mental health conditions | 3. Transition to self-sufficiency |
