Two Ipswich-based charities have secured major funding boosts totalling £339,287 from the latest round of Sizewell C community grants. Home-Start in Suffolk and Headway Suffolk will use the money to expand their support services across East Suffolk.
Suffolk Community Foundation has raised more than £100,000 to help older residents stay warm this winter, but says more people should come forward to claim the support.
Suffolk Community Foundation has named Hannah Bloom as its new chief executive. Bloom, currently the Foundation's Director of Philanthropy and Engagement, will take up the role in February.
When Brian and Susan (not their real names) couldn't afford to keep their heating on despite working all their lives, a local winter fuel grant transformed their retirement. Their story shows why Suffolk Community Foundation's latest appeal is so vital.
