Yesterday, our CEO, Steve, and Patron, the Earl of Shrewsbury, had a fantastic time at a special lunch at the House of Lords honouring the work of Community Foundations nationwide. It was a privilege to be hosted by the Rt Hon Lord Brownlow of Shurlock Row as we represented Shropshire's communities.

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! 🎉
