The Herefordshire Country Fair Committee have set up a charitable fund to benefit organisations, activities and individuals who are in need within the county, particularly in relation to activities that support rural activities and rural life.
With already £22,500 in the fund the aim over the next few years is to substantially increase this to provide a meaningful amount invested in perpetuity for the benefit of the county. The fund which is set up under the umbrella of the Hereford Community Trust will eventually be able to disburse any income earned on an annual basis independent of any success of the fair days.
