At the county council we are working through exactly what the announcement of extra funding for our schools will mean. You maybe aware that Suffolk and other rural counties have been underfunded for schools and for SEND but it looks like our rural schools and SEND budgets are going to get better than expected increase – which is very welcome.
You may have heard that Suffolk AgeUk ceases work on Friday – please look here to find out how you can access alternative support from other organisations.

Economic Recovery Restart Plan: The Norfolk and Suffolk Covid-19 Economic Recovery Restart Plan brings together commitments and actions from local authority, private sector, third sector and education organisations to outline the key activities in place to help our region’s economy restart after the COVID-19 pandemic. It complements local recovery plans being developed at county and district levels, which will cover additional activity, individual places and health and education. The plan will also feed into the Government’s national recovery plan. Find out more in the new Covid-19 Economic Recovery Restart plan at https://newanglia.co.uk/covid-economic-recovery/
