Lidl Wisbech

We provide accessible, affordable and safe transport and support services to people who have difficulties using conventional modes of transport or are socially isolated, and work with local authorities, and other charitable, voluntary and not-for-profit organisations for the benefit of the individuals and groups in community, across the fenland, huntingdonshire and east cambridgeshire areas. Following Covid-19 we have worked tirelessly with the community delivering shopping & medication to those that are shielding or vulnerable. In addition to this we are working with PECT to set up the Community Fridge this will be located within the FACT Community Hub. It will be managed by volunteers. A communty fridge will provide fresh produce kindly donated by local supermarkets, restaurants, farms etc. This will help cut down food waste and hopefully inspire people to share food, ideas with neighbours and friends. The idea of a community fridge encourages communities to come together which builds trust, improves lives and strengthens the community as a whole. We have a launch of the fridge on March 1st 2021. If you are able to donate fresh produce to FACT Community Fridge please contact me at hub@cotransport.org and we can arrange collection.

Ferry Project is an award-winning registered charity and social enterprise based in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire. Since 1999, we have been dedicated to helping those experiencing homelessness and vulnerability across the Fenland area. As the largest provider of homelessness-related services in the district — supporting an estimated 80% of those experiencing homelessness locally — we engage with over 300 clients each year across housing advice, emergency accommodation, hostel living, resettlement, employment support, and health services. We ensure every donation received, whether physical, practical, or financial, directly benefits our clients. What We Do We believe homelessness is rarely just about housing — it is almost always connected to trauma, mental health challenges, relationship breakdown, addiction, or unemployment. That is why we take a holistic, whole-person approach, offering a full continuum of care from the moment someone comes off the streets through to fully independent living. We operate six supported accommodation sites across Fenland, including Octavia View, Destiny Haven, Hope House, Agape House, Faith House, Jubilee Place, and properties in March. Every resident has a dedicated keyworker providing personalised, trauma-informed support. Our Impact (2025–26) 83% of planned move-ons resulted in positive outcomes 26 people helped into a new home or tenancy 12 people supported into independent living 12 people reconnected with their families 12 people gained paid employment 41 people accessed health services 29,906 nights of accommodation delivered 36 people supported through the Severe Weather Emergency Protocol Who We Support Our clients are predominantly single adults with complex, overlapping needs — including mental health challenges, substance misuse, offending histories, and domestic abuse. Many have been let down by multiple systems and need consistent, non-judgmental support to rebuild their lives. Rural Homelessness We champion the often-invisible issue of rural homelessness. In Fenland, services are isolated, transport links limited, and needs are complex. We have spent 25 years building the community trust and expertise needed to reach people here, and we advocate for greater national recognition of rural homelessness. Our Values Our FIRST values — Faith, Integrity, Respect, Support, Trust — underpin everything we do. Using trauma-informed and psychologically informed practice, we walk alongside people towards lasting, positive change. In 2025–26, volunteers contributed 487 hours (valued at over £7,300), many of them former residents — a testament to what is possible with the right support.
