Arco Iris Community Samba band Busk for Jimmy's Cambridge

Caroline Wright is raising money for Jimmy's Cambridge

Arco Iris Community Samba Band Busk · 18 October 2025

Jimmy’s is a community-based charity with the belief that no-one should have to sleep rough in Cambridge. We provide safe places that people can call home. From emergency accommodation at our East Road shelter, longer term care at our multiple needs centre and in supported houses and modular homes.

Story

Arco Iris is based just off Mill Road, not a million miles from Jimmy's on East Road in Central Cambridge. This year for our annual fund raising busk we have decided to stay local.

Within Jimmy's centres, residents can access support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Once residents are ready to move into Jimmy’s supported housing they keep in touch regularly with their individual support worker. This relationship often continues even after the individuals are ready to transition on from Jimmy’s housing.

Jimmy’s aim is to offer targeted, wraparound support to promote mental wellbeing and help our residents fulfil their goals. We use evidence-based support to improve our services and impact and to be a voice for change.
