A three-year grant of £50,000 per annum has been awarded to The Angels Foundation UK by The Cambridge Building Society.
The multi-year award was the first of its kind made by The Cambridge, as it continues to mark its 175th anniversary.
The grant aims to provide The Angels with a platform to expand its services over the next three years to deliver long-lasting support for survivors of domestic abuse in Cambridgeshire.
This grant is the latest chapter in the partnership between The Cambridge and The Angels.
In 2023, The Angels was awarded a one-off grant by the Cambridge Building Society Community Fund before it became one of The Cambridge’s community partners in 2024.
Peter Burrows, chief executive of The Cambridge, said: “We continually look for new ways to make the difference and so – to celebrate our 175th anniversary – we have made our first multi-year grant that we hope will be transformational for The Angels and the vital help they provide to survivors of domestic abuse.
“I am delighted to continue our partnership with The Angels and to see their continued impact in our community grow with our support.
“We know how hard it is for charities to find financial support and that’s why we have pledged to donate more money than ever before to good causes to mark our 175th anniversary.”
The donor directed award will enable The Angels to find a new premises, extend its services and grow its staff and pool of volunteers to reach more people in need.
Caroline Deeprose, founder and CEO of The Angels Foundation UK, said: “We are thrilled to begin a new partnership with The Cambridge Building Society.
“Their generous award will help us grow, build capacity and support more survivors of domestic abuse throughout Cambridgeshire to rebuild their lives with dignity and hope.
“By meeting both practical and emotional needs, we provide a vital lifeline at a critical point, ensuring no one has to choose between safety and basic essentials.
“With shared values and a strong commitment to supporting vulnerable people, this partnership will strengthen our trauma-informed support and counselling services.”
She continued: “Together, we’re helping survivors regain independence, build resilience, and break the cycle of abuse for future generations.”
