Cumbria Young People's Fund

The Cumbria Young People's Fund provides grants to help young people aged 14-22 fulfil their potential and develop life skills. The fund supports both individuals and charitable organizations working with young people in this age range. For individuals, grants support educational and personal development costs, including university living expenses, travel and equipment for educational courses. For groups, the fund supports social and personal development activities, anti-bullying workshops, programs to build confidence and resilience, independent living skills, and prevention programs addressing issues like sexual exploitation. The fund is managed by Cumbria Community Foundation and was established by a private individual donor to support youth development across Cumbria.
