The support network is not going to go away.

Updated for Lockdown 3 (5 Jan)

A funding programme which supports people struggling with social isolation and loneliness is now accepting new applications.

Following the success of three previous rounds of applications, a fourth round has now been opened. Applications are invited from local community groups and voluntarily organisations who are delivering projects which can help reduce social isolation and loneliness. Grants of up to £10,000 are available through the scheme.

Suffolk Constabulary is reminding communities across the county to continue to adhere to the latest lockdown measures this weekend and ensure everyone is supporting the cause to save lives and protect the NHS.

56 people were fined for breaching lockdown rules over the three day period from Friday 15 Jan to Sun 17 Jan inclusive, and 39 people received warnings.

Following a number of distraction thefts in the area, police are reminding members of the public to be aware of keeping personal possessions hidden from opportunist thieves. A incident occurred shortly before 4pm on Sat 16 Jan at Tesco in Ropes Drive, Kesgrave. Anyone with information about these incidents, should contact the Crime Coordination Centre.

A Virtual Community Event will be held for people in Suffolk and north east Essex (postcode areas CO1-CO16) to put their questions about the COVID-19 pandemic to a panel of experts from local health and care services and community leaders.

They will also have the opportunity to hear local updates on the pandemic and how the vaccination process is being rolled out in the region.

The event will be hosted on Microsoft Teams. You do not need to book a place in advance and can join by clicking the following link:
