Ramadan Appeals

Bobby Scheme

CoA provided funding to the Bobby Scheme. The Bobby scheme helps around 50 people a week affected by burglary, theft or domestic abuse to remain in their home to recover from the trauma and take control of their lives again.

Safer off the Streets

Organisations from voluntary, faith, community and public services came together to launch a multi-agency partnership called ‘Safer off the Streets’. The aim is to bring together a more targeted approach to tackle the issue of rough sleeping in Peterborough.  

CoA are co-founding members alongside several organisations including Citizens Advice Bureau, The Salvation Army and Peterborough City Council.

Syrian Refugee Support

CoA as part of a multi-agency including the Home office and Peterborough City Council have been providing support to Syrian families arriving in Peterborough as part of the UK governments pledge to take in Syrian families. CoA’s grant supports Syrian girls with secondary school education at the Iqra Academy, including the purchase of school related equipment such as uniforms as well as school meals.

Community Fridges

In an attempt to tackle high levels of food waste and to redistribute food to those that need it most, CoA have been supporting a local community fridge project in Peterborough. Anybody from the general public can access the fridges to gain access to the excess or surplus food. The food is collected and distributed by the charity Food for Nought. The aim of the project is to cut on food waste and help ease pressure on people who are struggling to afford to feed themselves and their families.

CoA contributes to the purchase and running costs of some of the fridges which are easily accessible in locations across the city, to enable local people in need to access free food – sourced from farms, Supermarkets, stores & cafes – that would have otherwise gone to waste.

Domestic Violence

CoA provides grants to Peterborough IDVA Service (part of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Domestic abuse and Sexual violence Partnership) which supports high risk victims of domestic violence. They provide independent advice and support. The service supports both male and female victims primarily within the Peterborough area.

The service provides crisis intervention and support to victims.

• This can be to provide information on options and give information to help make decisions

• Advocate with other partner services on their behalf such as housing.

• Assist with personal safety planning for clients and their children in order to reduce risk

• Support clients through the civil and criminal justice system.
