James Buckle, Director at Heathpatch, has been appointed Chair of Inspire Suffolk, the independent charity supporting more than 2,500 children and young people each year. Having founded The Porch Project in Hadleigh and served as an Inspire trustee since 2023, James brings extensive experience and a long-standing commitment to improving opportunities, wellbeing and outcomes for young people across Suffolk.

Heathpatch hosted the CLA East Suffolk AGM at Semer, welcoming over 80 rural business members. The day included updates from CLA CEO Isabella Murfin, a farm tour showcasing conservation and landscape restoration, and a visit to Nedging Hall, highlighting estate-grown produce, hospitality and rural enterprise. A delicious lunch was served by The Crown at Bildeston.

We opened our doors to a student from The Raedwald Trust for a morning of inspiration and work experience with our teams in Semer, Suffolk.

We would like to invite you on a guided walk through Raydon Great Wood.
