The partnership will support the hospice’s services, which care for those with progressive and life-limiting illnesses in Ipswich and throughout East and Mid Suffolk, Great Yarmouth, and Waveney.

**Why it matters:** St Elizabeth Hospice provides free care to over 4,000 patients and their families annually, costing around £12m. The charity relies heavily on external support, with 70% of funds from local businesses and community donations.
