How we are supporting local communities

Our Community Fund

Our Community Fund provides much-needed funding to local organisations and groups, to create opportunities for projects across our communities that support the following objectives:

• Sense of community – bringing communities together

• Training and employability – supporting residents to gain or develop skills

• Health and wellbeing – improving the health and wellbeing of residents

• Improving communities – reducing Anti-Social Behaviour

• Increasing financial and digital inclusion for residents

Since the last Residents’ Voice Report, our funding has helped support over 2,500 people in local communities across Cumbria. You can see a summary of the funding that’s been allocated below. Details of the how to apply for the fund can be found on our website by clicking here
