Suffolk Community Foundation Annual Review and High Sheriff Awards

Our CEO, Shirley Moore, attended the Suffolk Community Foundation's Annual Review and the High Sheriff's Awards last week.

Suffolk Community Foundation is celebrating 20 years of grant-making, this year. Over this period SCF has hugely impacted so many charities across Suffolk, including, The Befriending Scheme, to which we are extremely grateful.

Grants of SCF have enabled us to continue to provide vital services supporting people of all ages with additional needs / low mental health.
