Description

Suffolk Community Foundation administers this fund in memory of Edward and Ivy Rose Hood. It supports charitable and community activity through two priorities: services that improve local people’s lives and life chances in Lowestoft and Waveney, and small-scale environmental initiatives that protect nature, strengthen community resilience and promote health and wellbeing across Suffolk.

The fund supports both new, innovative projects and existing work, including the core costs and organisational overheads needed to sustain community activity. Local services may address emotional and physical wellbeing, social connections, practical life skills and access to brighter futures. Environmental work focuses on the relationship between people and nature, including inclusive green spaces, climate adaptation, environmental education and skills. Sustainable projects and organisations working collaboratively or in partnership are viewed favourably.
