“Essex Community Foundation is delighted to be working with e2v, helping them to maximise their charitable giving and knowledge of community activity,” said Laura Warren, Chief Executive of Essex Community Foundation.

This fund further demonstrates our commitment to provide long term help and support for the communities in which we work”.
