We Love Lichfield receives major cash donation from local business

Arthur Price says “we will continue to support the fund throughout 2026 and beyond”.

Place-based community fund We Love Lichfield has received a cash donation of £1,500 thanks to fundraising efforts by local cutlery firm Arthur Price.

So far during 2026, the Arthur Price Factory Shop has held two raffles and organised a special dining demonstration with local private chef Simon Smith. The company has also donated cash for the place-based fund after increasing its social media following.

Arthur Price has likewise announced that it will continue supporting We Love Lichfield throughout 2026 with other raffles and events. This is in order to help the fund achieve its aim of distributing £50,000 every year to local good causes.

Simon Price, Arthur Price Chair and patron of We Love Lichfield, said “it is an honour and a privilege” to support the fund.

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.

Arthur Price CEO James Price, added that “we will continue to support We Love Lichfield throughout 2026 and beyond”.

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 of Lichfield.

The fund considers applications from local groups in need twice a year. It raises money and then the returns are given away. Companies and individuals make up the bulk of the donors to the fund, either through direct donations or via fundraising.
