Laurel House Brampton Fund

The Laurel House Brampton Fund provides grants to charitable organizations and volunteer groups that work with elderly people in the Parish of Brampton and the surrounding area. The fund prioritizes projects that support older people aged 60 and over, tackle disadvantage and address hardship, reduce isolation, and improve health and wellbeing. Supported activities include social inclusion events such as regular meetings, meals, coffee mornings, and outings, as well as activities that improve health and welfare of those with mobility issues and disabilities. The fund also supports sessions that provide advice and guidance to older people on topics such as benefits. Grants normally range from £500 to £2,000 over one year, though multi-year grants may be considered depending on the project. The fund was established by the Laurel House Management Committee and is administered by Cumbria Community Foundation.
