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.
