On behalf of everyone at Acorns, I am writing to thank the Trustees of the Herefordshire Community Foundation for their kind donation of £2,796, which will be used to help us purchase a syringe driver for use at our Three Counties hospice, where children from Herefordshire are cared for. This is a hugely important piece of palliative care equipment and brings enormous relief to children at the end of their lives.

I applied for a grant for a couple of training courses for a gentleman.  He has passed both and is now looking into setting up as self-employed, so he is very grateful for this. Previously, he was unable to be employed due to complex PTSD affecting relationships within the workplace, so he was unemployed for a long time. This has enabled him to work for himself and set him on a whole new course in life.  You guys are absolutely amazing.

The Beneficiary is very grateful for your help.  She asked me to thank you very much on her behalf.
She checked her meters, she already has everything for her gas and electric.  Thanks to this she won’t be sitting at home dressed warmly and also she won’t be worrying if she has enough to top up.  When she saw the meters she cried with joy.  She asked me to pass on heartfelt thanks to the whole team

I am truly overjoyed by your decision to honour my appeal and I cannot wait to begin my course. This opportunity is both an honour and a privilege, and words can hardly capture the depth of my gratitude.

My heartfelt thanks go out to everyone at the Hereford Community Foundation. It means so much to feel acknowledged—to have past experiences, which can sometimes carry a sense of shame, instead be met with understanding, and for my commitment to be recognised. For me, this gift is more than just a computer; it represents the chance to carve out a new path for myself.
