Description
The Centenary Fund, managed by Suffolk Community Foundation, provides grants to Anglican organisations within the Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich for projects that benefit the wider local community. The fund aims to foster community engagement by supporting initiatives such as improving church buildings for accessibility, developing youth and children’s programs, supporting parish nurses, and collaborating with schools or other community groups to address local needs. Projects must demonstrate strong planning, community consultation, and volunteer involvement, with a focus on lasting positive impact for vulnerable and isolated groups.
