Judges comments

“The new building was positively humming and genuinely uplifting when we visited: a vibrant community space with everything going on from a young people’s recording studio to a dance exercise class, a toddler’s nursery to a community café. It was superbly well laid out, fully accessible and easy to navigate, and with one of Cambridge’s few Changing Places facilities.   Outside there are play spaces for different age groups which are also well used.”
