The Gurney Charitable Trust Fund provides grants for community-benefit societies and small locally-focused charitable organisations in northern Cumbria. The fund specifically targets the areas of Keswick, Cockermouth, Aspatria, and Wigton, with priority given to projects in and around the village of Ireby. Exceptional projects outside the priority area that align with the donor's interests will also be considered. The fund supports activities across a range of areas including the advancement of education, relief of poverty, health benefits, heritage of local buildings, theatre, natural history and wildlife, and arts projects. Examples of supported activities include programs for young people, hire of road matting for Ireby Festival, art exhibitions celebrating women of Cumbria, and outreach services. Grants are typically £1000 or less for one-year projects.
