Basepoint Business Centre Ipswich is part of The ACT Foundation – a leading UK grant making charity. All of their 24 Basepoint centres nominate a local charity to support with fundraising events and the funds raised from Basepoint Ipswich’s collaboration with Out & About will be match-funded by the Act foundation to the value of £10,000 over the next 12 months.

Michelle Wootton, Centre Manager for Basepoint Ipswich, said

"Out & About was undoubtedly our first choice in seeking a community based charity. Having seen first-hand the work that Out & About does, I have always been extremely impressed with their ethos of enabling disabled children to be fully included in leisure activities in the local community. We look forward to working with them in numerous fundraising activities throughout 2009."

Out & About's Chief Executive, Steve Allman, is delighted that Basepoint Ipswich have chosen to support Out & About throughout 2009,

"Out & About and Basepoint are two organizations that share similar values about making a difference in the local community. We're pleased to be working with Basepoint and look forward to their fundraising efforts creating new opportunities to include disabled children in local leisure activities."
