In the heart of Cambourne, a beacon of community well-being shone brightly on January 14, 2024. CamCare UK and the new Community Interest Company (CIC) WellbeingOn joined forces to host a Winter Kite Festival, a unique event tailored to enhance residents’ physical and mental health during winter.
The purpose was simple but impactful – to provide an opportunity for families to step out of their homes, breathe in the crisp winter air, and engage in outdoor activities. Often, winter sees a lull in community events due to weather constraints. However, this festival aimed to break that pattern, turning a chilly day into a warm celebration of togetherness.
Councillor Shrobona Bhattacharya, the mastermind behind this exhilarating event, expressed delight at the overwhelming turnout of enthusiastic families, friends, and neighbours. The festival, designed to cater to all age groups, showcased an array of kites in different designs, colours, and sizes. The skies over Cambourne came alive with a kaleidoscope of hues as kites made from paper and fabric soared gracefully overhead.
Cultural Harmony Takes Flight
One of the festival’s highlights was the variety of kites adorned the sky. Participants took pride in showcasing their craftsmanship, with kites reflecting different designs and diverse cultural symbols. The festival became a living canvas, celebrating the cultural tapestry of Cambourne.

Families, friends, and neighbours braved the cold together, creating lasting memories and supporting the local economy. The success of this event reflects the community’s resilience and the commitment of CamCare UK and the WellbeingOn CIC to the well-being of Cambourne’s residents.
In conclusion, as kites soared high against the winter sky, so did the spirits of Cambourne. The Winter Kite Festival, emphasising outdoor events and support for local businesses, was a beacon of light amid the winter chill, embodying the warmth of community and the spirit of togetherness.
