Who We Are.

We provide funding to ensure local charities and voluntary groups can continue with the valuable work they are doing in the region.
We are funded solely by corporate donations and fundraising events, with 100% of the money raised going directly towards good causes in Suffolk, Essex, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk.
