What We Do

 Effective Altruism Cambridge is a student group based in Cambridge University. 

 We run speaker talks, discussion groups, workshops, and research groups all about trying to work out how we can best help others. 

 
Community Health

 As part of an effort to be as inclusive and welcoming as possible, we wrote Community Guidelines for EA Cambridge and are making a conscious effort to make sure members of our community follow these.

We are however well-aware that the above guidelines alone are unlikely to be enough to prevent anyone from feeling uncomfortable, overwhelmed, anxious, unwelcome, unsafe, or from facing mental health problems in the context of our community. If you ever feel that way, please reach out to one of us (option to do it anonymously). We will do our best to support you and help prevent similar things from happening again.
