Celebrating the short and special life of George Price by promoting the interests of Herefordshire’s primary age children.
George’s Fund was set up by Laura Hughes, one of our trustees, to remember her five-year- old son George.
Laura and her family had their lives turned upside down on 27 August 2020 when their son suddenly became sick. The next day he was diagnosed with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG), a highly malignant brain tumour (cancer) which affects children almost exclusively between the ages of 4 and 11. In the consultant’s words, they had been “ hit by lightning”.
They returned home to spend as much time as a family with George and his two brothers, Oscar (then 6) and Harry (then 2). Six weeks later George passed away in the arms of his family.
George’s Fund remembers his short and special life. As Laura explains,”As a mum, one of your jobs is to tell your children that ‘everything is going to be ok’. I couldn’t do that for George, so if we as a family can make a small difference to another child’s life then it will give us huge comfort.”
George’s Fund is supported by regular fundraising events and activities, run by Laura and her family as well as community supporters
I can’t tell you how absolutely delighted the students, staff and volunteers were with this project. The visiting professional artists really were excellent, particularly as neither of them had any previous experience of working with visually impaired people. As always, Herefordshire Community Foundation’s support has been incredibly valuable, thank you.

Thank you for continuing to support the Amber Foundation, your generous donation of £3,069 towards a bed space at Farm Place in Surrey for young people who have struggled with homelessness and unemployment is greatly appreciated. With your continued generosity it will enable us to continue our work for transforming the lives of young people.

The funding really took away the stress associated with finding funding to keep the Youth Cafe going last year. As a result of us being able to continue, last week we hit record attendance numbers of 24 young people!
We have a number of events lined up, including Warhammer sessions (kindly donated by Warhammer) and we are planning for the colder months.
Many thanks for your support.

Thank you for the grant and your support of our society. We will be fairly quiet until we start rehearsing for next year’s show in the autumn. However, we are sure to have lots of visitors to the website in the meantime.
