Strummer Calling Community First Fund

The Strummer Calling Community First Fund provides grants for small voluntary and community groups to address local needs and create opportunities that make a real difference in their communities. The fund prioritizes volunteer-led grassroots groups that support their community, with particular focus given to groups in the Carlisle and Eden areas. Supported projects include community cinema initiatives, camping activities for Scout groups, expenses for volunteers and room hire for radio broadcast training, and improvements to village halls. Grants are administered by Cumbria Community Foundation through an anonymous donor and are designed to strengthen grassroots community organizations throughout the region.
