We are delighted to be of part of the evolving story of Sawston, bringing back a thriving industry to a village with a rich industrial heritage. We want to do our bit in supporting the local economy, not only as a place of work, but as a place that inspires and educates future generations, provides business to and opportunities for local businesses and provides a space that people in the community can use.
Supporting our local community
Community Space
The talented youngsters from Cambridge Educational Robotics Club (CERC) utilise our free community space on campus to get ready to represent the UK in the Asia Pacific FIRST LEGO Robotics Open Championship!
Sponsoring Fun Run
We were thrilled to sponsor (and take part in) this year’s Sawston Fun Run and Walk. An amazing 1,480 people took part, raising vital funds for local causes.
UnityCafé
Unity Campus now has a café for campus members and visitors to enjoy. It is open from 8am to 3pm Monday to Friday and serves a range of hot and cold food and drinks.
Volunteering Initiatives
We encourage and support volunteering initiatives via the campus team, Howard Group and member organisations. For example, we helped to facilitate a team volunteering day for campus members Domainex to clear and landscape the Sawston Village College Wellbeing Garden.
Campus-wide Collections
We operate campus-wide collections for charities such as Cambridge Food Bank, easter egg collections for local children’s charities, cake sales for local charities and quiz nights for East Anglian Air Ambulance.
