CARESCO

CARESCO is a unique charity based in the village of Sawtry, near Huntingdon, which exists to serve the local community in Sawtry and its satellite villages.

It offers a number of services and activities, including a music-based social group, a Christmas Day party, and a charity shop which helps to fund their activities.

In partnership with other organisations they host the local foodbank (working with the local churches) and the village car scheme (working with Cambs County Council).

CARESCO also edits and publishes the popular Sawtry Eye magazine.

Most of their services are run from their own purpose-built CARESCO Centre in the heart of the village.
