In addition, representatives from a wide range of partner organisations will also be present, including Access Community Trust, Community Action Suffolk, Great Yarmouth College, Lowestoft College, Lowestoft Vision, Lowestoft Rising, Marina Theatre, Suffolk County Council, Suffolk Police and Turning Point.
