Following the escalating crisis in Afghanistan, Hertfordshire Community Foundation is raising funds to support Afghan arrivals and refugees in Hertfordshire. Acting as a central point for the county's fundraising efforts, HCF will use funds raised to support local groups and organisations providing vital assistance and help to local Afghans as they adapt to their new circumstances now and in the longer term. HCF is working in partnership with Hertfordshire County Council and the local VCSE sector.
