Fantastic to see the vital role and incredible impact of Community Foundations being highlighted by @UKCF_tweets president @LordHastings in the House of Lords.
A huge thank you to our President, @LordHastings, for bringing to light the important work and local-to-national role that community foundations have in the UK during a recent @UKHouseofLords debate: "People feel so proud to give locally, volunteer locally and support locally."
