Somebody's Daughter

The Somebody's Daughter Memorial Fund was launched by the Evening Star in conjunction with Ipswich Borough Council to forever remember the young women who tragically lost their lives in Ipswich in 2006.

A board of Trustees oversees the distribution of funds raised for the benefit of vulnerable people with an Ipswich connection to:

1. Protect and preserve good health by promoting the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of substance misuse, drug and alcohol addiction and related health problems and provide counselling, information and support services to the users of drugs and other addictive substances and their families;
2. Relieve sickness and distress amongst people working as prostitutes, in particular but not exclusively those affected by substance misuse, by providing appropriate information, support and treatment;
3. Advance the education of the public in the misuse of drugs and other addictive substances.

A person with an 'Ipswich Connection' is someone who is:

• An Ipswich resident;
• Someone who works in Ipswich;
• Someone who is a regular visitor to Ipswich; or
• The parent or child or other dependant of someone who falls within the three categories above.
