About this Event
George’s Fund – A Day on the Farm
Hosted at Growing Local, Hereford
Join us for a special gathering to celebrate the projects made possible through George’s Fund.
This event brings together supporters, donors and funded organisations to share the real impact of outdoor projects helping primary-aged children across Herefordshire overcome physical and emotional obstacles.
George’s Fund is a named fund of the Herefordshire Community Foundation. We provide grants to local outdoor initiatives that help children build confidence, resilience and connection through time spent in nature.
We’re delighted to host the day at Growing Local, a local charity based on a beautiful organic farm just outside Hereford and one of the organisations that has received funding through George’s Fund. Their focus on improving health and wellbeing through growing and outdoor learning makes them the perfect setting for this event.
