United Charities

The public face of Cambridge United Charities: traditional almshouses and the St Radegund pub in King Street Cambridge.

As its name implies, The Cambridge United Charities (CUC) were formed to manage the properties and money left to the people of Cambridge by several local philanthropists since the 17th Century. In its present form, it dates from a Charity Commission Scheme approved in July 1970, although this replaced the much earlier Cambridge Municipal Charities which had been operating from the mid-1800s.

There are three branches of the Charity's work:
The Almshouses
Relief in Need
Hobson & Crane Exhibition Foundation

The Charity does not actively fundraise, but seeks to continue the philanthropic work of the original benefactors through the careful stewardship of existing resources.
