Community Foundation for Shropshire

We are the official community foundation for Staffordshire & Shropshire. This is the Shropshire branch.

Funding that inspires outdoor learning and imagination! Shenstone Community Library were able to deliver 10 one-hour Forest School sessions for children aged 2 to 5. A wonderful example of how funding can enhance community wellbeing and create memorable learning experiences for local families.

Funding that makes a difference! The Godolphin Edwards Fund focuses on 4 rural parishes – Acton Burnell, Frodesley, Pitchford, and Ruckley & Langley – but its impact reaches beyond that. By providing grants to local groups, the fund helps improve health and quality of life for local people.
