2 | SUFFOLK COMMUNITY FOUNDATION Chairman & Chief 11010100010101100100010010101101010001001 Executive’s Report

We have great pleasure in presenting the Trustees’ Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2019.

Over the past nine years as a trustee, six of which I have spent as Chairman, it has 110010010100101011010100110011001101000 been an incredible privilege to be part of a Foundation that has grown from a small start-up of Suffolk enthusiasts, to the central and vital resource that it has now become for all those in Suffolk seeking to change local lives.

Each year we have grown stronger, more effective and more ambitious in our intent to make Suffolk a better place to live for everyone. We have raised over £45M so far to support the essential work of local charities and community groups, without whom many of our most vulnerable would quite simply have nowhere to turn. 11001001001001101001100111100100110010110 Whilst I fully intend to remain a close and enthusiastic supporter of the Foundation’s work, I would very much like to take this opportunity to thank every person who has stepped up so passionately including our incredible band of staff, James Buckle, DL trustees, volunteers and donors – we must all continue working TOGETHER for Chairman an even brighter future for us all.

It is with great pleasure that I can confirm that the Foundation continues to 0110101000101010110101000101101001110101100 develop well and in presenting this Annual Report, you will see from our Statement of Financial Activity (for the year ended 30th June), that we have achieved record levels of income, grantmaking and endowment fund growth. This is a wonderful achievement but, more importantly, are the numbers of beneficiaries who are directly being supported through your generosity (as shown on the inside cover). This is a truly heart-warming accomplishment and, on behalf of those people who you have helped, can I thank the army of volunteers, the tireless charities and community groups, the generosity of donors and funders, and all those who 0110101000110010011001100110010001000001 believe that TOGETHER, we can make a difference.

For the Foundation team, our year end is a little bittersweet, for we say goodbye to two long serving trustees, Iain Jamie and James Buckle. Iain has chaired our Development Committee with passion and energy and in the process, has left a real legacy through establishing our Sports Fund, as well as contributing to some of the most memorable events that we have held over recent years. James has served the Foundation for nine years, and he too will be sorely missed. On a personal note, I could not have wished for a more supportive and ambitious chair, 11001001110001001101001100111100100110010101 a sentiment that is felt by the whole team. Under his stewardship and through a Stephen Singleton Chief Executive subtle mix of compassion, challenge and fun, the Foundation has continued to fulfil its potential.

As we look to the future, we welcome our new chair, George Vestey and will continue to give our all to help those in need.

REALISING AMBITIONS IPSWICH Across the country health and social care & EAST SUFFOLK GRANTS PANEL services are being transformed under innovative partnerships known as Sustainability and Transformation Partnership (STP).

“Here in Suffolk (and North East Essex), this partnership has gone one step further and seen the creation of an Integrated Care System (ICS). The ICS brings together local organisations from both the statutory and voluntary sectors to redesign and integrate primary, secondary, physical and mental health as well as social care services.

ActivLives As a result of its increasing role in health and social care services, the Age UK Suffolk voluntary sector is seen as a key partner. With a seat on the ICS board, Anglia Care Trust Suffolk Community Foundation is at the heart of this innovation and is BSC Multicultural Services now playing a major role through the Realising Ambitions grant fund. Emmaus Suffolk Through the programme, Suffolk Community Foundation is distributing Green Light Trust a total of £1.2m of ICS funding. Grants have been made available to Home-Start in Suffolk encourage VCS service delivery in line with local priorities including; Hope Church Ipswich reducing loneliness, improving mental health and reducing suicides, Ipswich Community Media preventing and treating obesity, and reducing the impacts of poverty on Julian Support health outcomes.” Karibu African Women’s Support Group Level Two Youth Project Stephen Singleton, Chief Executive Mid Suffolk Citizens Advice Bureau Ormiston Families Out Loud Music Rural Coffee Caravan Information Project Sudbury and District Citizens Advice Bureau Suffolk Artlink Suffolk Libraries Suffolk Rape Crisis Suffolk Refugee Support Suffolk Young People’s Health Project Swimming Self-Help Group Ipswich The Mix Stowmarket Total awarded: £676,787 across 24 grants Reaching 29,595 beneficiaries

It is sadly impossible to acknowledge you all individually, however, the following supporters have made a significant contribution to the Foundation over the past year. Our heartfelt thanks are extended to those of you who donated your Winter Fuel Payments to our Surviving Winter Appeal 2018/19, as well as those of you who have provided support in many ways, large or small, to help change local lives.
