Heathpatch hosted the CLA East Suffolk AGM at Semer, welcoming over 80 rural business members.

A delicious lunch was served by The Crown at Bildeston.

Mental Health Awareness Week highlights the importance of inclusion and connection. We are proud to support The Befriending Scheme, a local charity helping vulnerable adults facing loneliness and mental health challenges. Through befriending, community hubs and the Red Rose Community Farm at Lindsey Tye, they provide opportunities to build friendships, develop skills and improve wellbeing in a safe, supportive environment.

For today's look at Mental Health Awareness Week, we want to highlight a local organisation, Inspire's Porch Project, doing vital work to support the wellbeing of young people in our community. Based in Hadleigh, Suffolk, they provide a safe space for young people to build confidence, learn new skills and feel supported.

To mark Mental Health Awareness Week, we invited local visitors to explore Raydon Great Wood in Suffolk with our woodsmen and ecologist. Discover how nearly 30 years of woodland restoration, coppicing and pond management have transformed this ancient wood into a thriving haven for wildlife, biodiversity and wellbeing.
