SUPPORTED CHARITIES
High Sheriff’s Fund
The High Sheriff of Worcestershire’s Fund encourages charitable donations which will be distributed to a selection of local community organisations through one of the county’s leading grant-making bodies, the Worcestershire Community Foundation (WCF).
WCF has been the official host of the High Sheriff Fund for many years and works closely with the High Sheriff to ensure that funds raised are distributed legally, fairly and effectively.
The High Sheriff partners with WCF due to its well-established role in supporting and funding a wide range of charities and voluntary organisations across Worcestershire. This enables vital funds to be directed to the communities and causes where they are needed most.
Each year, WCF distributes around £500,000 in grants and donations to a number of local community groups, many of which are small organisations that face challenges in securing funding. These groups support a variety of causes, including mental health, wellbeing, disability, social isolation, homelessness and the cost-of-living crisis.
Founded in 2003, WCF is a registered charity and part of a national network of 47 community foundations. As a specialist charitable hub, it drives local philanthropy across the county, bringing together donors, businesses and grant-giving bodies with local causes and projects that are most in need.
