Roselands Trust Fund
The Roselands Trust Fund provides grants to charitable groups that help and advise people who live with disabilities or groups that provide activities and facilities to enable inclusivity. The fund particularly supports older adults and people with learning difficulties facing disadvantage. Typical projects include interactive music workshops for adults with severe physical and learning disabilities, equine therapy courses for socially or physically disadvantaged people, electrically-assisted tricycles for older people, and sailing sessions for groups of adults and children with visual impairments. Grants normally range up to £1,000 over one year, though there is no maximum award amount. The fund is administered by Cumbria Community Foundation and does not support individual applicants.
Cumbria Industries Amenities Fund
The Cumbria Industries Amenities Fund provides grants to groups offering support to people with disabilities. Originally established to assist workers at the Workshops for the Blind in Carlisle, the Fund was expanded in the 1980s when the Workshops extended their services to include people with all types of disabilities. The Fund was transferred to Cumbria Community Foundation by Cumbria County Council in 2008. Priority is given to projects that provide activities and equipment for disabled people in Cumbria, as well as those supporting vocational work and training for disabled people in the Carlisle area. Examples of supported projects include cookery lessons for people with learning difficulties, accredited training for people with disabilities, active sports development programmes, and equipment to assist blind people during training.
