Liddle Thomson Community First Fund

The Liddle Thomson Community First Fund provides grants for small voluntary and community groups in the area of north Allerdale, primarily around Wigton and Carlisle areas in Cumbria, England. The fund is designed to support charitable, not-for-profit grassroots groups and organizations that work with children and young people, as well as groups supporting social action at a local level. Priority is given to projects which support communities in North Allerdale, tackle disadvantage in rural communities around the priority area, provide sporting activities to keep young people fit and healthy, and provide advice and guidance to individuals. The fund has supported projects such as improvements to community-run swimming pools, equipment for play parks for children, and activities and running costs for youth organisations. This fund is administered by Cumbria Community Foundation and was established by private individual donors.
