This week: We visit the Galfrid School in Cambridge, to a HAF Club being run by Cambridge United Foundation, part of the drive by the city's League Two football club to give back to the city and support the communities around the Abbey Stadium.  

We're at the school to meet Vicky Neal, Head of the Foundation, as she and her team deliver a Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Club in one of the most deprived wards in the city, itself one of the most unequal in the UK.  Vicky talks us through the strategy behind the Foundation's work and their incredibly strong strategy.  I'm also joined by Eastern Promise Chief Sports Correspondent Andrew Dubock, whose experience of being a longstanding part of a football club community lends a fascinating additional perspective.   

And finally! You tell me what your first taste of Autumn has been, and share some spots to take in the most enigmatic of the seasons, in another all-conkering (sorry) CROWDSOURCERY!
