High Sheriffs take on a personal responsibility for fundraising throughout their year in office. The money raised is used to support community projects through the High Sheriff’s Award Scheme which was set up in Cambridgeshire over 15 years ago.

The Cambridgeshire High Sheriff’s Award Scheme is open to Cambridgeshire (including Peterborough) based organisations working with children and young people to undertake charitable projects.

 The Cambridgeshire High Sheriff’s Award Scheme is managed by the Cambridgeshire Community Foundation
