Yesterday we were with community foundations from across the UK to mark 50 years of giving. Even though we're just in our 20s, it's awesome to think that the UK's first community foundation started in Wiltshire 50 years ago! So many inspiring talks. Cheers to the next 50 years! 🎉

In Shropshire, we take flooding seriously. A recent British Red Cross report shed light on the lack of preparedness in dealing with floods. Though we can't stop floods, we can make a difference. Our Emergency Response Fund ensures immediate support when disaster strikes.
