Community fund

Our community fund helps local groups and organisations deliver activities and projects that benefit residents living in our communities.

Delivered in partnership with the Cumbria Community Foundation, the fund supports initiatives that make a positive difference to people's lives and strengthen local neighbourhoods.

Eligible charities, community groups and not-for-profit organisations can apply for funding to support projects that contribute to our community investment priorities.
