Alex Wood House invites you to join us on Saturday 22nd November between 2.00 and 4.00pm at The Church of the Good Shepherd in Arbury, for an afternoon of fundraising and refreshments, all in aid of The Cambridge Acorn Project.

The Cambridge Acorn Project has been supporting local children and families affected by trauma, abuse and financial hardship for the last decade. During this time, they have helped to positively change the lives of thousands of children and their families.

Trauma can steal opportunities from children. They believe that things can be different and that families should have access to support in a way that is meaningful to them. They believe strongly in the need for individual choice, and they provide a range of services and approaches which respond to individual circumstances.

We look forward to seeing you there.

On Remembrance Day, we were honoured to welcome members of the Cambridge Joint Services and Veterans Club to Alex Wood House.

It was a moving experience listening to the brave and inspiring stories shared by Ken and David, who both served our country with courage and dedication.

Their reflections reminded us of the sacrifices made by so many to protect our freedom, and their visit filled the room with gratitude and respect. We thank them sincerely for taking the time to share their experiences with us.

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them.
We will remember them."

Thank you to Ken from the Cambridge Joint Services and Veteran's Club for his reading to us on Remembrance Day.
