CN Group Fund

The CN Group Fund provides grants to charitable and volunteer-led groups which support their communities and help people facing disadvantage. Supported by Cumbria Newspapers, this fund assists community organizations with various projects including improvements to community facilities, equipment and furniture for community centers, activity coordination, children's play areas, and creative projects for people with disabilities. The fund aims to strengthen community infrastructure and services that benefit those who are disadvantaged. Grants are administered through Cumbria Community Foundation, which connects people who care with causes that matter across Cumbria. While grants normally range up to £2,000 for one-year projects, there is no maximum award amount, allowing for flexibility based on project needs and impact.
