Wintercomfort is a support hub, creating opportunities all year round for homeless individuals.

Wintercomfort is an information, advice, training and support centre in Cambridge for those who are homeless or vulnerably housed. Open daily throughout the year, we encourage and empower the people we support to overcome disadvantage and to make positive, long term changes to improve their lives.

Reception Opening Hours

Our reception is open for phone calls Monday to Friday, from 8:30am to 2:00pm.

If you call outside of these hours, or during busy periods when we’re unable to answer — please email us at [email protected] with your query, and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Getting a regular job with Overstream Clean (Wintercomfort’s social enterprise), has been a turning point in my life. With a regular income, I’ve been able to find a place to live and my children can come and stay with me again. This means everything to me.
