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
Supporting Business for Good lets us give back and create real change in Herefordshire. I encourage other businesses to join us in making a difference.

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.

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.
Here at Hereford Computer Services we are delighted to be able to contribute to the Business for Good scheme, supporting community projects in Herefordshire. Having worked closely with Herefordshire Community Foundation over the last 10 years, we know that the team will make the best use of all the funds it receives to benefit those projects all around our county.

A big slice of what makes eighteen73 a team of like-minded people and binds us together is what we do as a business to give back to our community. That’s why we are pleased to be one of the early adopters of the new HCF ‘Business For Good’ fund. We would commend Herefordshire-based businesses to join ‘Business for Good’ as an effective and collective way of making a meaningful difference in our county.
Helen Bowden, Eighteen73
