We are dedicated to supporting the long and short-term wellbeing of local NHS staff and volunteers. They are amazing, passionate people who want to ensure they can provide the very best levels of care to their patients at all times.

Supporting communities

We have created the Community Ambition funding programme in partnership with the Suffolk & North East Essex Integrated Care System (SNEE ICS) with very specific criteria to reduce health inequalities in ethnically diverse and deprived communities impacted disproportionately by COVID-19 in Suffolk and North East Essex.
