We’re delighted to announce that The Band of The Royal British Legion, Leiston has been awarded £59,497 in the latest round of funding from the Sizewell C Community Fund.

The band, open to everyone from beginners to seasoned players, will use the grant to buy instruments, equipment, and much-needed new uniforms.

Steve Lovett, a tuba player and the band’s chairman, said: “We’re absolutely delighted to have been awarded this grant - it will make a huge difference to our band’s future.

“During the Covid 19 pandemic, our membership fell drastically. And although numbers have begun to recover, the arrival of Sizewell C’s growing workforce presents a fantastic opportunity for us to welcome even more new members.”

@theseagulltheatre received £64,615 in September 2024 from the Sizewell C Community Fund. The grant was to fund a 2-year multi-stranded project aimed at improving mental health and wellbeing in children and young people, using a mix of storytelling, arts, music and dance.

This photo is from The Seagull’s Early Years Story telling group. This fortnightly group will cater for up to 20 children aged 3 - 5. The aim of the group is to support young families to meet, form peer support networks, but most importantly to introduce the youngest children to stories and literacy. The group also has massive knock-on impact as the parents often have literacy issues of their own which can be subtly identified in the group and support made available.

The Sizewell C Community Fund will provide up to £23m to local charities, community groups and organisations which are delivering projects that benefit communities located closest to, and most impacted by, @sizewellc development activity sites in East Suffolk.

Last week, Team SCF took part in the Pound Gates Whopping Big Quiz of the Year in support of @inspirecharityuk, hosted at the beautiful @milsomskesgravehall .

It was a fantastic evening packed with questions on everything from sporting achievements and awards to literature and general knowledge — all themed around 2025. Despite some challenging questions, we were delighted to place 8th out of 29 teams!

Thanks to raffle ticket sales and generous match-funding from Pound Gates, the event raised over £4,000 for Inspire.

A huge thank you to the organisers for such an enjoyable night. We’re already looking forward to next year!
