A FUND supporting local organisations has been boosted by a £2,000 donation from a local business.
It comes after The Arthur Price Factory Shop hosted two raffles in aid of We Love Lichfield during 2025. They raised £1,000 – and the company then rounded the total up to £2,000.
The cutlery firm has also confirmed it will continue to support the fund during the coming year.
Simon Price, Arthur Price chair and patron of We Love Lichfield, said:
“It is an honour and privilege to support We Love Lichfield.
“Together with other businesses and individuals we are trying to make a difference across the district, helping local voluntary groups make Lichfield, Burntwood and the surrounding villages a better place.”
We Love Lichfield is one of the Community Foundation for Staffordshire and Shropshire’s place based funds.
It awards funding to a wide range of projects operating across the district twice a year, distributing money raised from the returns on investments made using the donations in line with charity commission guidelines..
James Price, CEO of Arthur Price, said:
“We will hold further raffles in 2026 and other fund-raising events and encourage other local businesses to join us.
“We have some amazing businesses supporting We Love Lichfield including Richard Winterton Auctioneers, Hutchings Civils, David Lloyd Lichfield and Access Bookings – and I really do think the momentum is building.”
