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

Thank you ever so much for the hugely uplifting news, for which we are extremely grateful.
Also, earlier today I received the news that Ross Round Table has granted us £250, subject to your confirmed award. Even better news – your grant has now helped us lever in a further £500. This time from the Ross Lions Club. It shows what a valuable role you have to play. Best wishes from myself and our board.

We are very happy to be supporting the “Business for Good” campaign as it is important to us to be able to give something back to the people of Herefordshire. Bridie of Herefordshire Community Foundation advised in her talk that even small amounts of money can make a big difference to peoples lives. It is clear that all the team at HCF feel very passionately about their work to help as many people as possible.
