A Woodbridge-based charity that is working towards building a new community, arts and youth centre has shared its thanks to all of the people who have generously supported them this year.

Jetty Lane hopes to meet the social, cultural, and wellness needs of the local population by creating a purpose-built centre, but they need to raise £3.5million.

The charity knows they face a particular challenge with the centre not existing yet, trustee Cordelia Richman said: "We know it's a big ask for people to give their time and money to us when there are so many other worthwhile causes out there.

"The volunteers and organisations who go out of their way to help us can see that we are building a legacy for the future. They deserve a special thanks."

Below the charity have thanked everyone who has helped them out this year.
