Local projects in Cambridge

Here you can read more about the latest local projects we've run at JCI Cambridge. Contact us if you'd like to learn more about and get involved with the future business, community and social projects we're planning.

Christmas Tree Appeal - JCI Cambridge's most popular project is the Christmas Tree Appeal.  We go along to local shopping centres in December and ask people to donate a Christmas present for children who are under the local social services care.  We have managed to raise over 1,000 presents each year.  A very worthwhile cause and a true achievement. 

Sports Aid - JCI Cambridge is supporting the Sports Aid - to give young UK athletes a chance to compete at their best.  The next Sports Aid Lunch in Cambridge is on the 18th of March, with Alison Mowbray (Olympic rower) as guest speaker, please do let us know if you are interested in taking part of the event.  

Chariots of Fire  - Chariots of Fire is a great opportunity for a charity run in Cambridge on the land of Trinity, Kings and Clare Colleges in September, each team consist of 6 runners who each have to run 1.7 miles one at a time, competing against other teams which is lots of fun.  All money raised will be going to a good cause. The 2010 race raised more than £50,000 for two local charities - Home Start, Cambridge and Wallace Cancer Care. Please let us know if you are interested in running as a part of a JCI team, or if you want to take part in organising and raising money.  

Blood Drive - Blood Drive is an important cause and JCI Cambridge this year wants to raise more awareness. Donating blood can save other people's lives, plus, you never know when you might need blood!  If you are interested in giving blood, please sign up on https://secure.blood.co.uk/enrol.asp - an introduction package will be send to you, with details and next time the blood drive is near you.
