Innovation – how we add value and support residents We will be commercial, innovative and ambitious, continually looking at ways we can improve our services, ensuring everything we do comes back to our social purpose.
OUR AIM: 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. In the past year, our funding has helped support more local organisations across Cumbria. A selection of worthy causes are highlighted on these pages. Details of how to apply for the fund can be found on our website by clicking here .
