Winner: Farhan Ali, Sahar Mulji, and Aleena Islam (Islamic Society Outreach Subcommittee)
Farhan Ali, Sahar Mulji, and Aleena Islam have worked to serve the local community through outreach projects.
Each week, they spend their evenings preparing food and hot drinks to distribute to unhoused individuals in Cambridge. In addition, they have organised other community projects throughout the year such as the Crisp Packet Project, where over 300 empty crisp packets were collected and used to make thermal blankets for the people experiencing homelessness in Cambridge. Their tireless work on this project has helped the city immensely and inspires others to give back to the community.
