New Fund launched to support people affected by poverty, disability and financial hardship
We are delighted to launch a new named fund held with Herefordshire Community Foundation. The West Common Fund supports people
We help donors give well by creating funds that reflect what they care about, managing everything on their behalf, and making sure their giving makes a lasting difference.
Community foundations are an international movement and there are 47 in the UK looking after every corner of the country. Working in specific geographic areas, they connect philanthropic people with local causes that matter to them. They build endowments and generate funds to support community needs and local organisations making a difference. Community foundations offer grant-making programmes funded by donations from individuals, families, businesses as well as grants from other bodies, such as the Government.
Bringing together funds
Distributing to local good causes
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.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your generous grant of £3,000 towards our Stage Bright project. Your support is helping us continue our mission of supporting and empowering disadvantaged children, giving them opportunities to learn, grow and achieve.
Through regular sessions, the children will learn to express themselves, work together and discover abilities they didn’t know they had. We hope to see children who were once too shy to speak finding the courage to take on roles, join in with friends and perform with confidence.
On behalf of every child who will benefit, thank you!

Thank you Herefordshire Community Foundation. We really appreciate your support.
This grant means we can offer free activities to many people in our community who may not always have the opportunity to take part. It gives them the chance to experience art and culture, connect with others, and, most importantly, simply have fun and enjoy themselves at our Family Fun Day.
Leominster Festival – Becket Bulmer Fund
We have now delivered three George’s fund sessions and it has been a joy to see the huge benefits the children have experienced. Many have been able to overcome challenges they didn’t think they were capable of and many have made huge strides in building their confidence. One of our tutors said to me that delivering the George’s fund sessions reminded her of just why she chose to become an Outdoor Learning Tutor and children have described the days they have had as the best of their lives!

I just wanted to say a big ‘Thank You’ for the continued help and support from HCF, which means a lot to us here at Revive and therefore what we can do to support and help the local Community, and further afield.
Revive Community Cafe – Small Sparks Fund
Thank you so much for this wonderful news. We are absolutely delighted that Herefordshire Community Foundation has awarded LEAF £20,000 from the Friends of Ledbury & District Health Care Fund.
This grant will make a real difference. It will fund our integrated adult mental wellbeing pathway, bringing together Listening & Guidance, Kintsugi Hope, and adult counselling into one coordinated route of support. Support at scale simply wouldn’t be possible without funders like the Friends stepping in, and we’re enormously grateful for your confidence in the project.
