Can you
help us?
We
receive no financial support from the national organisation and are responsible
for raising our own funds. We have a positive relationship with the Suffolk West
Primary Care Trust, and the Suffolk County Council and they fund some areas of
our services which meet their statutory obligations. We receive some funding
from charitable trusts and foundations. We receive some funds from local
companies and individuals. Wherever we get funds from we are committed to
spending them wisely and practically and ensuring that we provide what our users
need.
