From the administrators' statement
Access Community Trust has provided transformative community support for over 50 years. The Charity was registered in January 2010 as St Johns Housing Trust. The Charity has provided services to vulnerable members of the public in relation to homelessness, mental health and addiction. It also provided public spaces for the elderly and vulnerable in Suffolk. The Charity operated from a number of premises with its head office based at 132 Bevan Street East, Lowestoft, Suffolk, NR33 2AQ.
The Charity was initially founded by the trustees Robert Bracey, John Bunyard, David Ellis, Trish Aydin, Linda Blackett, John Eade, Tony Walksley and Jan Sutton. The trustees changed from time to time and at the time of administration were David Ellis, Bradley Adnams, Duncan Read, and Howard Tidman.
By 2026 the Charity was a well known pillar of the Suffolk community providing vital services to the most vulnerable members of the public. The Charity operated from 16 premises making it one of the largest charities in the East of England.
