Here's to a century of positive change, grassroots difference, and ongoing collaboration!

Yesterday Cambridgeshire ACRE’s staff and trustees were joined by key community leaders to mark the start of Cambridgeshire ACRE’s Centenary year and to celebrate 100 years of making a grassroots difference working with rural communities.

At the launch, we reflected on 100 years of Cambridgeshire ACRE’s work and gave special thanks to those volunteers who have made such a difference to their rural communities.

Big congratulations, again!

🩵 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 🩷

We are delighted to announce that we are now a registered charity: 1205725! Thank you to everyone who has supported us as the Property Angels Foundation over the years.

We will now be known as The Angels Foundation UK and will be expanding our support throughout Cambridgeshire with ambitious plans to ensure all families fleeing domestic abuse have the resources they need to make an independent life free from domestic abuse.

Our trustees will be announced soon and further details of exciting expansion plans too. The changes will slowly be made in order to transition over from The Property Angels to The Angels Foundation UK, however we still remain as accessible and friendly as ever.

Our website is now www.angelsfoundation.org.uk

Thank you to everyone who has got us to where we are today and here's to a bigger and brighter future for the Angels.

Much love,
Caroline # #
