Turtle Dove Cambridge
Turtle Dove Cambridge was created to fill a gap in youth support work.
With one very specific aim, Kate Nation founded Turtle Dove to improve the future of young women who are or are at risk of becoming unemployed through not having the confidence or experience to seek employment. By providing them with opportunities in hospitality, working as part of a team and with a defined structure, these young women can gain invaluable life experience. Turtle Dove Cambridge offers a range of event services, from manning the event to catering and beyond.
