Cumbria Tourism 50th Anniversary Fund

The Cumbria Tourism 50th Anniversary Fund provides grants for people aged 16 and over to help raise educational attainment and career aspirations in the Cumbrian tourism and hospitality sectors by enabling access to study, vocational training and employment. This fund supports individuals who are living, studying, training or newly employed in the tourism or hospitality sector in Cumbria. The fund helps cover essential costs that enable people to pursue education and career opportunities in these sectors, including specialist equipment, course fees, study materials, travel costs, and hardship costs that enable completion of studies or training programs. Household income is taken into account when assessing applications, and evidence of anticipated expenditure is required with each application.
