SUSTAINABILITY

Pembroke May Ball 2025 is dedicated to being our most sustainable event to date. We are proud participants in the Sustain-A-Ball initiative. In 2024, our efforts were recognized with platinum accreditation and we were honored to be ranked 3rd overall. This year, we are doubling down on our commitment to sustainability, aiming to go even further by reducing waste, sourcing responsibly, and promoting eco-consciousness throughout the planning process.

Sustainability is at the heart of our mission, and we welcome anyone interested in learning more about our initiatives or contributing to our efforts. For further details or inquiries, please reach out to Aoife, our Sustainability Officer.

CHARITY

This year, Pembroke May Ball is proud to celebrate 40 years of women at Pembroke College. In honor of this milestone, we believe it is essential to support a charity that uplifts and empowers women. We also feel it is important to support a Cambridge-based charity, ensuring that our contributions make a tangible impact in our local community. For this reason, we have chosen to partner with the Cambridge Women’s Resources Centre (CWRC), a remarkable organization that has been empowering women since 1982. All donations will be redirected to the CWRC. We are also partnering with Nightline and Clarissa's Campaign (all proceeds from poster sales).

Additionally, we are proud to support Nightline and Clarissa’s Campaign, with proceeds from raffle ticket sales going to Nightline and funds raised from poster sales supporting Clarissa’s Campaign.

ACCESSIBILITY

We are dedicated to making Pembroke May Ball 2025 accessible and welcoming to everyone! We are a committed member of the Cambridge SU Disabled Student’s Campaign’s Access-a-Ball scheme, and have a number of measures in place to make it a memorable night for all our guests.

A complete, downloadable Access Map will be available soon. You can find more general information on Access Cambridge Wiki and Accessable. Reach out to Jasper, our Accessibility Officer, for more detailed information, to discuss unanticipated and more specific needs, or if you would like the information in a different format, and please note that you can add your accessibility needs as you check out.
