Give a Shout Out to a worthy Charity in Ipswich

Operation Santa is back this year, bigger and better, our goal is to double the amount of money we can give to local charities in Ipswich and we need your help.

So incredibly grateful for the continued support of Suffolk Building Society

25/01/2024

Through our Safe Homes for Suffolk campaign, we donated £30,833.33 to our charity partners in 2023 🀝

We were thrilled to have Jools (Ipswich Housing Action Group), Claire (Emmaus-Suffolk) and Sally (Lighthouse Women's Aid) pop in to see us. It was great to get their latest updates on the impact these vital funds are having to support those facing homelessness, social isolation, and domestic abuse in Suffolk.
