A key supporter of StreetSmart, the Cambridge Evening News is the charity's official media partner in Cambridgeshire. Throughout the campaign the newspaper will be encouraging diners to eat out and help out.

We at the Cambridge Evening News, in conjunction with some of the region's leading restaurateurs, supported the campaign for the third time last year and it raised £3,500 locally - providing funds to Wintercomfort and Emmaus. We hope this year to make a significant advance on this figure.
I have no hesitation in endorsing the work of StreetSmart. The charity's pioneering £1 per table campaign is an ingenious way to raise funds to help the vulnerable and the neglected in our community.
For its part, the Cambridge Evening News will be encouraging its readers to support the scheme by running a series of special features on StreetSmart, and publicising participating restaurants.
In the build up to Christmas, with the emphasis on celebration and enjoyment, we should all spare a thought for those who - usually through no fault of their own - have no choice but to spend their "festive" season on the street. I hope that you will feel able to support this worthwhile scheme.
Yours sincerely,
Murray Morse
