Covid-19 has had a large impact on those within Greater Cambridge and it is expected that there will be further impacts to come, therefore the Greater Cambridge Partnership is now looking to expand on the success of the existing provision and provide a service with a significantly wider focus. The service will cover a number of themes and will require working with a wide number of the Greater Cambridge community including, but not limited to, Businesses, Educational establishments, individuals looking to retrain.
