Doughnut Economics – Why it Matters to Cambridge
What can we learn from the new economic model?
Our research shows the impact of wealth gaps in Cambridge:
• unaffordable housing
• rising hunger
• social care cuts bite
• 11 year health gap
We think Cambridge can do better.
We run events and organise community action
We produce research and insight to build awareness

Correction in our live tweet stream we said 'ward' should have been 'local authority' - see table 9 in this report https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/496103/Social_Mobility_Index.pdf .. thanks @PhilRodgers 👍👏
@cam_commons Do you have a source for that? (I'm not doubting it, I just want to analyse the data!) I can find social mobility stats by district council (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/social-mobility-index) but not by ward
