Reach More People In Ipswich And Help Raise Money For Suffolk Charities.

Watch the quick video to see how it works and why now is the best time to join.

Most of us would love to support local charities regularly.

But when money gets tight — and let’s face it, that’s most months lately — donations are usually the first thing to stop. That’s the problem we’ve set out to solve.

What if your donation could also help grow your business?

What if we could build a system where doing good actually brought in new customers too?

That’s exactly what this is. We call it Sustainable Donations — and it’s built to be the perfect win-win.

You give. You grow. Local charities get funded. And everyone wins.

Best of all?

Your monthly donation goes directly to Operation Santa, a registered charity helping local causes across Suffolk.

There’s no VAT. No hidden platform fees.

And because it’s a donation — it’s fully tax-deductible.

You get:

🔷 A featured spot in our fast-growing local newsletter

🔷 Weekly exposure to real people in your area

🔷 Posts, promotions, and social credibility from being tied to a known charity

🔷 Business tools like review boosters, lead follow-ups, and a universal inbox — all done-for-you

🔷 My personal help to switch on just the tools that fit your business (no overwhelm)

🏆 Become a Community Champion

For every charity we support through your donation, you’ll receive a ready-made post to share on your own social profiles — proudly showing your support.

These are real charities doing real work across Suffolk, and being seen as someone who backs them matters.

Trust is the best generator of sales. And this helps you build it, fast.

This is a brand new project. We’re building the system, improving it weekly, and evolving it fast.

Early adopters get access to everything for just £100/month.

Later this year, we expect this to rise to around £300/month.

But if you join now, you lock in the early rate — and get more value as the project grows.

You give. You grow. Charities thrive. That’s the vision.

And i'll do everything I can to help make it work for you.

The images in the slider show just a few of the charities we helped this year. With your support, we’ll help even more in 2025.

In 2024, Operation Santa supported over a dozen Suffolk charities — including St Elizabeth Hospice, Ipswich Outreach, Brave Futures, and Suffolk Mind. These are real organisations helping real people. Families in crisis. Children facing trauma. People battling illness or homelessness.

When your business gets involved, you’re doing more than donating. You’re joining a growing group of local brands that care. Businesses who show up, give back, and stand for something bigger than sales.

Want to Give Every Month

But Worried About the Cost?

What If Giving to Charity Helped To Grow Your Business - Read Below And Discover How We Made This Possible

✅ Giving Shouldn’t Drain You

Most business owners want to give regularly — but it’s not always possible. When income dips, giving is often the first thing to go.

That’s not selfish. It’s survival. And we get it.

That’s why we created a model where

giving actually helps your business stay strong.

You donate directly to charity — and in return, we help you grow.

So you can keep giving, month after month, without worrying about what’s coming back.

✅ It’s Better to Give Than To Receive

We’ve all been told: “It’s better to give than to receive.”

But what if doing both… actually helped you give more, for longer?

That’s the heart of Sustainable Donations.

You give directly to Operation Santa — and we give your business weekly exposure, growth tools, and ongoing support.

Because when generosity comes with momentum, everybody wins.

✅ Give Directly to Operation Santa

You don’t pay us — you donate directly.

100% of your support goes straight to the charity.

We don’t touch a penny. No middlemen. No fees.

Here’s A Reminder of What You’re getting

Your Business Featured in Ipswich’s
Fast-growing Local Newsletter

Our newsletter lands in local inboxes every Monday morning. It’s packed with Ipswich & Suffolk news, events, cinema listings, reviews and exclusive deals. It’s growing fast. Every week more Ipswich locals subscribe, which means more eyes on your brand.

But this isn’t just another ad. It’s real exposure that means something because people know you are supporting local charities. That builds trust. It creates goodwill. And it makes them far more likely to take notice. When your business is seen helping the community, it feels different. You are not just trying to sell something. You are showing that you care. You are part of something bigger. And people remember that.

It is not a pushy pitch. Your message feels lighter. It is seen with a smile, not ignored. Locals are more likely to click, follow, visit or buy because they feel good about supporting businesses that give back. Your ad does not feel like an ad. It feels like a recommendation from someone they trust. And that is exactly why it works.

Turn Local Attention Into Real Action With These Tips

Use a relatable headline that speaks to a common problem

Example: Struggling to find time for dinner? We’ve got your solution ready by 6.

Include a clear, low-friction call to action

Example: Text us for a free quote (landscaper) or Call now to book your free smile check (dentist)

Offer something time-sensitive or exclusive to newsletter readers

Example: Show this email for 10% off this weekend only.
