Kipling Fund for Older People
The Kipling Fund for Older People provides grants to individuals and charitable not-for-profit groups helping older people facing disadvantage in Cumbria. The fund was established through a legacy from a Cumbrian farmer and prioritizes projects supporting older adults, people with mental health needs, and people on low incomes. Examples of supported projects include social inclusion activities for isolated older people, local support groups for older people affected by heart conditions and strokes, support groups for people with dementia, and mobility aids for older people. Grants will normally be £1,000 or less over one year, though there is no maximum award amount.
Cumbria Home from Home Fund
The Cumbria Home from Home Fund provides grants to organizations in and around the Lake District that improve the health, wellbeing and employment prospects of residents by addressing social and rural isolation or projects that improve the economic outcomes and sustainability of local communities. The fund is supported by donations from holiday and second homeowners, business owners that benefit from visitor income, and visitors to Cumbria who appreciate their Lake District experience and would like to sustain the communities that welcome them. Priority is given to projects that support younger people, offer education and training, address issues facing rural communities, provide opportunities for people to engage in local community activities, and are aligned to the Lake District National Park Partnership Management Plan 2020-2025 where appropriate.
