It was a privilege to attend the University of Suffolk’s “From Local to Global” supporters’ event yesterday evening and to hear first hand about the extraordinary work taking place across our county’s university.

The University of Suffolk continues to go from strength to strength, not only as a cornerstone institution for Ipswich and Suffolk, but as a university with growing national and international recognition. From world leading research and innovation, to life changing opportunities for students from all backgrounds, the university is making a profound contribution to our region and far beyond.

It is particularly encouraging to see the University recently named University of the Year at the 2025 Whatuni.com Student Choice Awards, alongside national recognition for teaching quality and student support, and many more awards. These honours reflect the dedication of academic staff, support staff, researcher fellows and students alike, and demonstrate the strength of the university’s vision and leadership.

The breadth of research taking place is equally impressive, from internationally recognised work in literature and culture, to pioneering environmental and conservation projects in the Amazon rainforest, helping shape global conversations around sustainability and biodiversity.

As someone who cares deeply about the future of Ipswich and Suffolk, I am proud to support the University of Suffolk and the transformative role it plays in education, research, economic growth and civic life. Strong universities build strong communities, and Suffolk is fortunate to have an institution with such ambition, purpose and impact at its heart.

My sincere thanks to Vice Chancellor Jenny Higham, Emma Bond, Sarah Westwood, Sam Chenery Morris, Jane Skelt, Jason Webbsmall-Eghan and the entire team for hosting such an inspiring and thoughtful evening.

Did you know that Suffolk Police hold a regular Ipswich Police Surgery at Murrayside Community Development on Nacton Road, Ipswich?

If you would like advice, need to report crime or anti-social behaviour, discuss local policing concerns, or find out more about careers in policing, please do come along and speak with the team.

I am also based at the centre each day holding Ward Surgeries for residents of Priory Heath. If you have any council service issues, local concerns, or simply want to discuss something affecting the community, feel free to pop in for a chat over a coffee and I will do my best to help.

We look forward to seeing you there.

I’m pleased to share that new clothes banks, delivered in partnership with Islamic Relief Worldwide and Eid In The Park Ipswich, are now in place at Murrayside Community Development over at Murrayside Community Centre, and are ready for use.

Access times: Monday to Saturday, 8:00am – 8:00pm.

This initiative supports local residents by providing a nearby, safe, and monitored location to donate used or unwanted clothing.

A few important reminders:
• Please avoid placing black bin bags or plastic bags into the banks, as they take up unnecessary space.

• If the banks are full, please do not leave donations outside or around the area. This is considered fly-tipping under UK law and may result in penalties. CCTV is in operation.

Let’s work together to keep this facility clean, accessible, and beneficial for everyone.

She claims to be a devout Catholic, yet she is too ignorant to know that Islam and Christianity have many shared values.

1.Compassion for others.
2. Charity to those in need.
3. Justice and fairness in society.
4. Respect for family and community.
5. Service to the wider public good.

Just to point out a few.

Salaam Aleikum,

Alhamdulillah, the Channel S TV RFC Iftar has now completely sold out with 150 guests attending. Jazak'Allah Khairun to everyone who has supported so far.

Our focus now is to maximise fundraising in the *last 10 nights of Ramadan*.

Allah SWT tells us in the Qur’an that *Laylatul Qadr is better than a thousand months*, meaning a single act of charity on that night can carry the *reward of more than 83 years* of giving.

This generosity in Ramadan was described by Abdullah ibn Abbas (RA), who said:
“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was the most generous of people, and he was even more generous in Ramadan.” (Bukhari, Muslim)

So far we have raised £1,330, and our target is £15,000.

If 92 people donate £150 we will reach the target. Even £100 from 137 people would get us there.

If you donate tonight (with Gift Aid), it could be that Laylatul Qadr is tonight, and you may receive the multiplied rewards mentioned above.

Please support, donate, and share the blessings of these final nights, Insha'Allah.
