What we do
Suffolk Small Good Stuff does two things:
We link people who need care or support with local people who might help.
We help small organisations that offer care or support. We provide them with information, publicity and access to a friendly network.
What we believe
We're the friendly website that believes:
People want care and support at times and in ways that suit them.
Local people helping other local people is good for everyone and for communities.
Very small organisations can offer great care and be imaginative and responsive.
Very small organisations struggle to tell people what they can offer (they don’t have huge marketing budgets like the big guys).
