At Pound Gates, our core values drive us to make a meaningful impact beyond business. Our commitment to community involvement is more than just a belief, it’s part of who we are. Through dedicated initiatives, we’re making a difference close to home and across borders. Locally, our efforts focus on three key areas to support our communities, while overseas, we’re committed to education and empowerment initiatives in Kenya. Together, these programs bridge the gap between business and lasting community impact.

Suffolk Community Foundation has enjoyed a successful partnership with the team at Pound Gates since 2013. We are proud to have been able to support and facilitate their commitment to doing good in the local community, resulting in grants worth more than £50,000 being awarded via their Acorn Fund. It is a pleasure to work alongside such a passionate and community-focused business, and we look forward to continuing our journey together to make Suffolk a better place for all.

Since 2013, in partnership with Suffolk Community Foundation, we have awarded grants totalling £55,000 to local health and wellness charities and causes.
In 2015 we co-founded and now co-sponsor Ipswich Sporting Lunch Club, a SportsAid initiative that supports young athletes in Suffolk who aspire to compete at Olympic, Paralympic, Commonwealth, World and European Levels.
We actively support local charities, particularly through initiatives that involve our staff. Our team benefits from paid volunteering days to engage with causes that they care deeply about.
