• EasyFundraising– GREAT NEWS! Woodbridge organisation the Sutton Hoo Ship’s Company is celebrating after winning a huge funding boost! The charity which is reconstructing the famous Sutton Hoo Ship, has won £1000 from Waitrose and funding website easyfundraising in the Waitrose Together for Good initiative. They won simply because one of their supporters used the easyfundraising platform to shop and raise money for then with Waitrose. Sutton Hoo's Jacq Barnard said, “Winning £1000 is so amazing. We are constantly having to fundraise to pay for rent and materials so this money will be put towards our day to day running costs to help us get to the end of the project. “We were over the moon when we received the email from easyfundraising saying that we had won this money, we shared the news with our 160 volunteers so that we could all celebrate and share the news more widely. “We registered for easyfundraising not really thinking that it would catch on, but it certainly did! We now have over 135 supporters who are regularly contributing with their online shopping, it really is too good to be true!” Funding for charities and non-profits quarterly training courses live now for 25-26 Introducing fundraising types across Suffolk, fundraising networks, fundraising in Suffolk, how to use the Funding4Suffolk and EasyFundraising easily and quickly to support and sustain your funding for your organisation.  You can book your place here - Training & Events - Community Action Suffolk
