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.

I am pleased to say that since receiving the Richard Bulmer grant, I have purchased a Roland Td-50 electronic drum kit, second hand, including flight cases for protection.  Since purchasing it I was booked for a professional contract at a pantomime where I have been performing daily. This has been the first professional contract I have received, and I was only able to accept because of my Roland TD-50 kit due to the specific request for an electronic drum kit.

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!

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 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.

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.
