Workshops and 121 Planning Sessions
These are one-hour workshops for up to 30 people where you can find out more about the Suffolk Community Restart Fund.
Community Restart 121’s will be an opportunity for an individual or organisation to have a one hour free session to discuss any barriers they may be experiencing in re-opening or resuming their activities.
This could be anything to do with your operation; your resources; or something which is external to the organisation. Whether you are an exercise class; a community building; or a youth club; we will do our best to help you overcome these barriers in order for you to re-open or re-start your activity in a safe manner. Available dates and times can be found here
