Why it matters: The donation supports The Suffolk Punch Trust's work in preserving the county's heritage breed for future generations while educating people about Suffolk's agricultural history.
Commercial property firm, Penn Commercial, presented the cheque during its Spring/Summer Penn Affiliates Networking Breakfast at the Trust's 120-acre site in Hollesley on 12th June.

What they're saying: "We are proud to support The Suffolk Punch Trust's important work in preserving this historic heavy-horse breed for generations to come," said Vanessa Penn. "Our long-standing partnership with the Trust will help to ensure that future generations can learn more about our Suffolk heritage, whilst getting to enjoy these very special 'gentle giants'."
