Lord Egremont Fund for West Cumbria

The Lord Egremont Fund for West Cumbria provides grants to charitable organisations offering activities that benefit people in the towns of Egremont and Cockermouth and their immediate surrounding areas. The fund prioritizes projects that are volunteer-led or make effective use of volunteers, and initiatives rooted within the local community and led by local people responding to local need. Support is directed toward the provision of facilities for recreation and reducing isolation, addressing child poverty and educational participation of young people, providing advice and guidance particularly around dependency issues, and promoting and enhancing the local area. The fund does not accept direct applications; instead, Cumbria Community Foundation works with Lord Egremont to identify potential projects for support, and all relevant applications from projects within the beneficiary area are considered.
