CCHA Annual Report for Residents 2023-24

Maryport Rescue We provided funding to train volunteers in the use of defibrillators – a vital service in the community provided by the inshore rescue team.

Speech and Language UK The Early Talk Boost project supports children aged three to four in Cumbria who have been identified as having delayed language development. Our funding meant the charity could deliver a one-day training session for local practitioners to gain skills and knowledge to identify children who need the service, measure their progress and deliver the intervention. ParkPlay ParkPlay delivers safe, welcoming and inclusive play sessions every Saturday morning. Our funding supported the employment of a play leader at Lightburn Park, Ulverston. Safe Families Funding for a Family Support Manager (FSM) will help towards Safe Families providing a dedicated FSM for each family in need. The FSM gets to know the family, their challenges and works with them to establish goals. They then match each family with the right volunteers based on the family’s needs.

Kendal Torchlight Procession The torchlight procession is a much-loved community event that has been running in Kendal since 1970. Our funding helped to ensure the event could take place in 2023.
