E F Bulmer Benevolent Fund

Herefordshire Good Causes Grant

Grants to organisations improving the lives of people in hardship, need or distress across Herefordshire. The Trust's primary objective is relief of former employees of H P Bulmer Holdings and their dependants; organisational grants are made from what remains once that is met, so funds are limited and the Trust asks applicants to speak to it before applying. Three application deadlines a year: 1 April, 1 August and 1 December.
