Summer fades but memories remain! Such as this Leicester Children's Holidays trip for young people who wouldn’t otherwise get a break, supported by the Bobby Dhanjal Foundation, and the Bill & Jean Richmond Foundation, both great grant-giving Funds with the Community Foundation.

We won a Lord Lieutenant's Platinum Jubilee Community and Business Award! Giving good grants, working with donors and charitable groups, genuinely is its own reward...still, we're finding a shiny smart acknowledgement on the shelf is really lovely.

Louise our Grants Manger is one of 41,000 volunteers at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games. Doesn’t she look great in her uniform! She's on the Fleet Services Team, driving dignitaries, commentators, medal presenters & commonwealth team members. Very exciting!

Staff & volunteers in from 6am so we can get the food delivered and the team home before the heat really kicks in. Massive effort from all involved including our volunteers who thought nothing of coming in 2 hours early.
