Local charity, Camtrust has recently been awarded £1,500 by the committee behind Histon Beer Festival. The money will go towards repairing the felt roof of a workshop at their headquarters on Cambridge Road Impington, which is leaking and badly in need of repairs.
Camtrust is a small charity and social enterprise based in Impington. It offers life and work skills for adults with disabilities, helping them to build skills for independent living. The charity is probably best known, in the village, for its refurbished bike sales and repairs.
The leaking roof was discovered recently and repairs are considered essential but very costly for the charity.
The Histon Beer festival is run by a team of volunteers and is hosted by the Red Lion pub in September every year. It raises thousands of pounds which are donated to local charities and good causes.
Lilly Mungovan, Charity Manager for Camtrust said: “We approached the committee to see whether they might be able to help, and were delighted when the committee agreed a donation of £1,500 towards the cost of repairing the roof.
“On behalf of everyone at Camtrust, I’d like to say a big thank you to Histon Beer Festival and its customers who contributed towards the donation. Because of you, we’re able to organise the roof repair quickly and our bike team will enjoy a drier workshop very soon!”
