GIVE TO WHAT YOU LOVE

Annual Report 2017 / 2018

CHANGING LOCAL LIVES Unlike traditional grantmaking trusts and CHILDREN & FAMILIES foundations, we develop lasting partnerships with individuals, families, businesses, public bodies and trusts. We work together to ensure that areas of acute need in Suffolk are addressed compassionately, respectfully and sustainably. We are committed to deepening levels of engagement in everyone who seeks to change lives and improve futures.

COMPASSION IN CRISIS We are one of a national family of 46 Community Foundations in the UK. As one of the top five grantmakers in the UK, our combined power and shared passion to make a difference is increasingly influential at the most senior levels and is delivering real and meaningful change.

EDUCATION, LEARNING & LIFE SKILLS Our vision is to help make Suffolk a better place for all.

Our mission is to change local lives by connecting causes that matter with people who care. HEALTH & WELL-BEING Our values are to be: • Compassionate and fair in our purpose • Professional and independent in all our relationships OLDER PEOPLE • Open and clear in our communications

Our priority is to reach those in most need by combining robust evidence with local service delivery.

THRIVING & SAFE COMMUNITIES CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPORT We have great pleasure in presenting the Trustees’ Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2018.

The Foundation has had a very successful and progressive year awarding 705 grants totalling over £2.6 million. These grants support organisations helping people from every walk of life right across our county and reaching into every corner. Through our grantmaking, we are acutely aware how every one of us may, at some stage in our life, need the support of a charity for a loved one or for ourselves. It is commonplace for the Foundation team to witness someone’s life turned upside down through illness, bereavement or one of the many other challenges that we may all face during our lifetime.

It will equally come as no surprise, that the demand on local charities is growing considerably. A rapidly ageing population, increasingly pressurised lives and public service cuts are some of the factors that are contributing to create a perfect storm. The need for local giving to support our local charities and community groups has never been greater. They are all playing their part, improving lives and making our communities better places to live in - but they do need our help. James Buckle You will see in our annual review that the Foundation’s work was presented Chairman to HRH Prince Edward, The Earl of Wessex, during the summer. We had the pleasure of bringing together some of our frontline charities who work with young people for the Prince to hear first-hand about the challenges that many of our young people face and critically, how local charities are helping them turn their lives around. The day was a memorable one for all but especially for the young people who met with Prince Edward and talked about their lives.

Increasingly, the Foundation identifies emerging local social issues through its grantmaking activities. By bringing together public, private and voluntary sectors and joining forces, we are more able to tackle these issues effectively. It is so encouraging and beneficial to our communities, that this joined-up approach continues to influence the planning and delivery of our services. Again, you will find examples of this approach throughout the pages of this review.

However, none of this would be possible without the extraordinary team effort by a dedicated group of people, all striving to make Suffolk a better place for us all. We would therefore like to thank our donors, funding partners, patrons, trustees, staff and volunteers for their commitment to helping others. Stephen Singleton We would also like to acknowledge and thank The Very Reverend Dr Frances Chief Executive Ward and Nigel Smith for their total dedication and service to the Foundation during their time as trustees.

ANNUAL REVIEW 2017/18 | 11 12 | SUFFOLK COMMUNITY FOUNDATION PROFESSIONAL ADVISORS Suffolk has benefitted enormously through its partnership with professional advisors. They are so often the link between their client’s ambitions to make a difference in their local community, and the reality of how this can be achieved.

Whether a client is looking to establish a named family fund through a lifetime donation, a legacy in their will, or wishes to reduce the administrative burden of an existing trust, we can work together to find the best solution, ultimately helping to achieve charitable goals in a tax efficient, professional way. Many of the heart-warming stories you will discover have been made possible due to the excellent independent advice that professional advisors have given. If we can help in any way, please contact:

Judy Dow, Head of Philanthropy Sally Ledger, Philanthropy Co-ordinator [email protected] [email protected] Judy Dow, Head of Philanthropy Or call: 01473 602602

“During discussions, a client may express their wish for the community where they live to benefit from a legacy they are planning to leave. Suffolk Community Foundation provides a sustainable structure for those funds to continue to grow whilst at the same time honouring their intentions and always remaining relevant to the needs of future generations.” Jonathan Mathers, Partner at Greene & Greene

“As part of the Revitalising Trusts Programme set-up by the Charity Commission and Community Foundations, and supported by the Office of Civil Society, I work with Suffolk Community Foundation to honour and re-energise the original aims of dormant or ineffective charitable trusts, confident that these funds will continue to support their local communities now and long into the future.” Toni Shaw, Trust Transfer Associate to UK Community Foundations

“Many of the businesses and individuals we work with recognise the changes that can be achieved by the Foundation and want to support the work in a tax efficient way. This can be through Corporate Tax reliefs on Company Donations, Income Tax relief provided for personal gifts and Inheritance Tax Exemptions when assets are left to the Foundation in a will. These tax incentives can have a dramatic impact on the funds received by the Foundation and used to improve lives in our community.” Sue Gull, Corporate Services Partner, Scrutton Bland
