Ipswich-based PR agency PLMR Genesis has partnered with Suffolk Community Foundation as part of a wider £10,000 charitable initiative spanning three regions.

Why it matters: The partnership will provide grants specifically to support young people in Suffolk, channelling funds to grassroots organisations that might otherwise be overlooked.

The big picture: PLMR Genesis, part of the PLMR group, is continuing its parent company's tradition of donating 5% of net profits to charitable causes – a practice that has resulted in over £350,000 in donations since 2006.

Key details: The funding will be shared between Community Foundations in Suffolk, London, and the Midlands, which specialise in supporting local charities with annual incomes under £100,000.

What they're saying: "We worked with the Suffolk Community Foundation earlier this year and saw first-hand the impact they are making through donations in the community," said Bernadette Mooney, Account Director at PLMR Genesis.

Hannah Bloom, Director of Philanthropy and Engagement at Suffolk Community Foundation, added: "Often voluntary grassroots organisations who are delivering very local projects, have a significant positive impact on their community."

The bottom line: This new partnership will boost support for Suffolk's smallest charities, with a focus on improving young people's lives across the county.
