In September 2006 a full-time post was established and office space was made available at Fenner's sports centre through the University of Cambridge. Financial support was secured through the support of the Sir Halley Stuart Trust.

Further support in recent years has come from University of Cambridge Active Community Fund and Society Syndicate, Isaac Newton Trust, The Golden Bottle Trust, BT Community Awards, and a number of Cambridge Colleges.

In addition, the Isaac Newton Trust and Cambridge Careers Service have supported interns carrying out activities at the Centre for Global Equality.
