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 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.

I would like to offer a massive thank you on behalf of myself and everybody else at The Literacy Pirates for the incredibly generous donation from The Herefordshire Community Foundation. It truly means a lot, especially in respect to the current pressures felt by many trusts and foundations, that we are a part of your giving this year. We are all extremely grateful.
Thank you once again for the amazing support shown for our programme and for believing that no child’s literacy should have to suffer as a result of disadvantage
