Each year, arc Shopping Centre chooses a local charity to support with fundraising and promotion amongst the local community. This year, we will be helping arc Shopping Centre to celebrate the wonderful wildlife in and around Bury St Edmunds, with a variety of educational events and activities.  

Allan Hassell, arc Centre Manager, and long-time supporter of Suffolk Wildlife Trust said, “Suffolk Wildlife Trust is a marvellous charity that does some incredible work for our county. I am thrilled that we can support them at arc Shopping Centre and look forward to a nature-filled year, focusing on how we can all do our bit to help the environment, how natural space can aid good mental health and, of course, how we can support our wildlife."

Michael Strand, our Community Fundraising Manager for Suffolk Wildlife Trust, said “We are delighted to have been chosen as Charity of the Year by arc Shopping Centre. Having year-round opportunities to engage with local visitors to Bury St Edmunds will help us harness the collective energy and talents of our county and bring everyone together into a bigger, bolder movement for nature’s recovery, which we’re calling Team Wilder. We look forward to seeing you.”
