What is the Safer Suffolk Foundation?

In late 2008 the Constabulary started working with an organisation called The Suffolk Foundation to help manage the Constabulary’s charitable donations. The Suffolk Foundation manages funds on behalf of individuals, companies, trusts and public agencies, acting as the vital link between local donors and local needs.

With its proven record of assisting charitable causes, The Suffolk Foundation has helped ensure that the Constabulary supports projects that seek to improve the quality of life of those living and working in Suffolk.

As a result of this work the Constabulary has founded the Safer Suffolk Foundation, a grant scheme chaired by Chief Constable Simon Ash.

The Safer Suffolk Foundation is managed on behalf of the Constabulary by The Suffolk Foundation, which handles the administration of funds, including grant applications and monitoring grants awarded.

How does the Safer Suffolk Foundation generate money?

Money is generated by the sale of lost or stolen items that, despite the Constabulary’s best efforts, cannot be reunited with their rightful owner. Lost and stolen items are sold through the national police property disposal site Bumblebee Auctions  - opens in a new window.

Money is also generated through Suffolk SafeKey, the Constabulary’s keyholder database. Further information on Suffolk SafeKey can found on its website - opens in a new window.
