We were impressed by HCF’s deep understanding and knowledge of the sector. Their key relationships – which help them to identify where there is need in the county – and the services that they provide ensure that local philanthropy is as effective as possible.

The knowledge and expertise of Hertfordshire Community Foundation has been invaluable in setting up and running our family fund, which generates income to support older people in the Welwyn area.

"We live in a very unequal world and sometimes that is at its most obvious on your own doorstep. Being supporters of HCF enables us to play a small part in trying to respond to that need."
