Professional Advisers’ event at Seckford Hall

Despite a wet and windy start to the day, we were delighted to welcome over 60 professional advisers to our networking event, held at the beautiful Seckford Hall, Woodbridge on Wednesday 3rd September.

Once seated with a delicious breakfast, Hannah Bloom, CEO, welcomed everyone with a short speech highlighting the work of Suffolk Community Foundation (SCF) against the backdrop of local needs. We then enjoyed a sofa discussion, chaired by Fran Wright, our Philanthropy Manager. Fran was joined by Henry Gaskin, Managing Director of SG Wealth Management, LLC, Ben Skinner, Sales Director of the family-owned Skinner’s and fundholder with SCF, and Nicola Weldon, Partner and Head of Private Client team at Ellisons.

The fascinating talk provided an insight into a long-term family fund and the motivation behind setting it up. The speakers also talked about the benefits of life-time charitable giving, as well as the positive impact leaving a legacy to support charities close to home can have on your local community.

We then enjoyed time to network and play a few old fashioned garden games (inside!)

We would like to thank SG Wealth for their generosity in sponsoring this event and to the team at Seckford Hall for looking after us so well.

If you are a professional adviser who would like to be invited to our future events, or a local business owner who is interested to understand more about how you can work with us, please contact Fran Wright.
