could never have imagined the grim reality which would be facing us when I sat down to write this month’s welcome. Our daily concerns have gone from trivial thoughts and minor annoyances to desperate worry over our loved ones and our livelihoods.

what’s on magazine when there’s nothing… on ... just won’t work, so we’re switching things up. This issue, and for as long as we’re in this, we’re going to be exploring different kinds of content in Cambridge Edition. Usually you can’t stop us from banging on about events, new openings, pop-ups and festivals, but since most of us are now staying in for the foreseeable, we’re going to be bringing you ideas for how to stave off boredom in lockdown, from recipes to craft projects to book recommendations. We’re also going to be delivering a big helping of positivity and community spirit by sharing stories of local heroes, volunteer groups and charitable initiatives. If the coronavirus crisis has shown us anything so far, it’s how willing the Cambridge community is to come together and support one another. And we think that deserves celebrating. We’ve also come to the conclusion that our usual print and digital channels are not enough, so we’ve launched something new: a daily digital newsletter which will feature news, ideas and inspiration as we, as a community, fight back against coronavirus. Cambridge is a place filled with ideas, stupendous helpings of brains, creativity and ingenuity, and we will get through this. Together. We would love to hear your stories and ideas, whether you’re evolving your business, diversifying your offering or you
