To unite Cambridge communities in collaborative action to tackle inequality, deliver equity of opportunities and build a city where sustained wellbeing, opportunity, and happiness are available to all.

Cambridge is a city of contrasts, with deep inequalities in income, access to services, education, housing, and health. Despite the city's wealth and innovation, some communities remain underserved, particularly in wards such as Kings Hedges and Arbury.

Inequality in Cambridge is multi-dimensional, persistent, and often concentrated geographically.

Cambridge 2030 operates through six key enablers:

COLLABORATE
A collaborative network including Cambridge City Council, employers, schools, charities, and local community groups.

LISTEN
Evidence and data on local deprivation and inequality, and knowledge of existing ecosystem for driving positive change.

LEARN
Learnings from existing successful partnerships and community initiatives (e.g. Abbey People).

RESOURCE
Funding and volunteer mobilisation.

LINK
Awareness of projects, initiatives and innovations across the city that offer opportunities for inclusion.

SHARE
Forums for sharing of success and learnings across the collaborative network.

• Collaborative action as the value proposition
• Children and young people as the long-term lever for equality
• Place-based focus for city-wide and priority local communities (Kings Hedges and Arbury)
• Horizon scanning for best practice to inform approach
• Networking to avoid duplication and build on work already taking place (e.g. North Cambridge Shared Prosperity Project)

• Social, emotional and mental health in children, young people and their families
• Building skills and knowledge that lead to purpose and employment — young people and adults
• Engage and involve the community in developing and owning initiatives and solutions
• Initial focus on King's Hedges and Arbury
