Communities Together East Anglia (CTEA) is a registered charity dedicated to reducing loneliness and social isolation across East Anglia, with a primary focus on Suffolk. Established in 1991, CTEA has been at the heart of the Suffolk community for many years, initially concentrating on providing accessible transport solutions. Over time, the organization has expanded its services to include:

Connecting Communities: Part of a countrywide service operates by Suffolk County Council, available from 7am - 7pm, Monday to Saturday, offering affordable door-to-door transport solutions.

Community Cars: A volunteer-led service providing door-to-door transport for individuals or family groups.   All volunteers have enhanced DBS checks and are trained to dementia awareness and first aid.

Stowmarket Rickshaw:  In partnership with local organisations, CTEA offers free rickshaw rides for individuals and community visits.
