ABOUT US

WHO WE ARE

Turtle Dove Cambridge supports and collaborates with established organisations to empower women aged 14-24.

We work with young women who are seeking to improve their confidence in a supportive and fun environment. Many are currently not in education, employment, training, or are at risk of falling into this category.

We serve both young women and the wider community by providing teams for events, restaurants, and more.

By booking our team, using our vintage China, hiring our van, or referring young women to our schools programme or youth support services, you help unlock remarkable opportunities for young women in Cambridge.
