Turtle Dove Mud Run 2024

We are Turtle Dove Cambridge and we are taking part in a Mud Run to raise awareness for Autism UK!

We are also raising money for Turtle Dove, which is our Community Interest Company (CIC).

Turtle Dove Cambridge works with young women from across Cambridge who are either not in education or employment. Many of the Young Women we work with are Autistic or Neurodivergent, so Autism UK is a charity that we support wholeheartedly!

At Turtle Dove we offer an Alternative Education Programme, and a combination of work experience at events and youth work support. The work experience comprises of learning hospitality skills that are essential to the smooth running of these events. We provide mentoring, and we have a peer to peer support group for the young women that work with us.

With your support, we can continue supporting young women to work with our alternative education programmes, peer mentor support sessions and social events!

The young women are referred through organisations such as the County Council, care leavers and housing providers. The young women are keen to engage within a work environment to gain confidence, improve and recognise their existing skill set and contribute to the community.

The work we do enables young women that are or could be at risk of being NEET (“Not in Education, Employment, or Training”) to feel they are an essential and valued part of a team! Your donation would help us continue to support and uplift our young women! Thank you so much for your support!
