STREET AID WEEK

WHAT IS LOVE CAMBRIDGE? Love Cambridge is the brand developed by Cambridge BID to deliver events and projects designed to animate and entertain our city. These include the Love Cambridge gift card, open-air cinema nights, the big Christmas light switch-on, magazines, maps and much more. Follow us on social media to be kept up to date with what’s going on in Cambridge this autumn.

Street Aid Week will be taking place for the very first time this year – a chance to shine a spotlight on Street Aid and spread the word to everyone who lives, works and studies in Cambridge. Cambridge Street Aid helps people get off, and stay off, the streets. People are encouraged to give to the Street Aid fund rather than handing money directly to people on the streets, and every single penny raised goes to grants for individuals to help them leave the streets behind. During the week of 14 to 18 October, look out for public events across the city centre and lots of chatter online! Cambridge Street Aid has set a target of raising £2,500 during Street Aid Week – this will

enable them to give grants to ten new people. For the latest updates you can find Cambridge Street Aid on Twitter or

Facebook (@camstreetaid) or sign up for the monthly Friends of Street Aid newsletter. If you would like to get involved in Street Aid Week, please email streetaid@cambridge. gov.uk or phone 01223 457959. Together we can help more people leave the streets of Cambridge behind.

SPOTLIGHT ON REGENT STREET

One of Cambridge’s busiest roads, Regent Street buzzes with activity. It’s home to some of the city’s top restaurants and bars, including De Luca, a family-run Italian eaterie which has been a favourite for more than a decade. Pop by at the weekend for live piano music in the cocktail bar. There’s also Parker’s Tavern, the restaurant at the University Arms hotel, which offers great food in a stylish setting, plus The Olive Grove, an award-winning Greek restaurant. Tiffin Truck is another local fave, serving small plates of Indian dishes. For a drink, you’re spoiled for choice; Novi is open until the small hours and has a great cocktail menu, while The Lab, a bar run by scientists, puts a unique spin on your cocktail experience. After a bite and a drink, why not catch a film at the Arts Picturehouse? It will be a hive of activity this month as it serves as the hub for the Cambridge Film Festival (17-24 October), of which Cambridge BID is a proud partner.
