Plse do consider joining the group. £1 a week collectively makes such a difference! @500Suffolk can work as quick as nomination for someone in dire need in the morning and money donated by the pm x
Since starting Oct 21 we have given a much needed lift to 54 households using 25k to do it On just £1 a wk from our members! Recipients feel not just relief but cared for, valued, not forgotten! #KindnessMatters & it changes things for the better for both the giver & the receiver

Time for another shout out for new members! £1 a wk from 500 members creates a pot of kindness for a family or individual struggling right now Not everything can be covered by a benefit. Our donations have made a difference & lifted spirits. But we need more members! Dm 4 info 🙏🏻
Yesterday #GetSuffolkReading unveiled a storytelling chair in Carlton Colville community garden. The chair is made from sustainable wood and has a built-in space for books to borrow. And thanks to @EastSuffolk funding, five more are planned in Lowestoft for communities to enjoy!

On Monday I returned to my old school @nsnacademy in Lowestoft, for the first time in 40 years to talk about my books @GaspardTheFox and @FredTubTub for the @readingagency. A wonderful experience, even in the heat. #GetSuffolkReading (Photos:@AmyLouisePhotos)
