A new partnership between two of Sudbury s most prominent community organisations has been formed to establish a community hub.
The ambitious strategy will see the Bridge Project and AFC Sudbury unite around three central themes; health and wellbeing, training and development and community.
Following the decision to sell its existing site in Gainsborough Street, The Bridge Project, which assists disadvantaged adults in the local community, will be making use of the extensive facilities at AFC Sudbury to widen its impact on the Sudbury area and its surrounding villages.

The Bridge Project charity in Sudbury has confirmed it is planning on an expansion after it was revealed that its town centre cafe could be converted into flats.
The charity, which has been supporting disadvantaged adults in the area for more than 25 years, has revealed exciting plans to open a new base in the town later this year.
Proposals have been submitted to Babergh District Council seeking permission to convert The Bridge Project s Gainsborough Street venue into a flats complex.
Planning documents submitted alongside the application argue the cafe has become unsustainable amid the coronavirus pandemic and lockdowns.
