'Making a difference in Sawston'
since 1554

Giving new opportunities to Individuals, Families and groups in the community

 

History


The Charity has been in existence for over 450 years.

John Huntingdon left land for Sawston in days when the village was an agricultural community with 60 households.

A few years ago land was sold, and it was the proceeds from this sale which provides a substantial income today, to be used for the population of over 8,000.
