Description
The Fonnereau Road Health Foundation Fund, administered by Suffolk Community Foundation, supports charities, community and voluntary groups, and social enterprises improving the physical and/or mental health and wellbeing of people in Suffolk. It primarily funds medical equipment and related capital expenditure, with a preference for paying the full cost of a specific, itemised piece of equipment.
The fund focuses on purchases outside an organisation’s normal overheads and running costs, rather than salaries, rent or office expenses. Its capital remit excludes building works, outdoor gym or playground equipment, fitness classes, and sporting or gardening equipment. The fund was created to extend the Fonnereau Road Health Foundation’s support to smaller charities and grassroots groups, drawing on Suffolk Community Foundation’s local grantmaking expertise.
