It’s Cockermouth Charity Week and CAfS are being supported by some wonderful sustainable businesses in the town.  

The week runs from 17th-22nd July and throughout this period businesses in Cockermouth will be fundraising for their chosen charity. On the Saturday, everyone will be out on the streets to celebrate with stalls, live music and many other events happening in the town. 

North Lakes Clinic and Health Food Store are supporting us with a promotion on sales of Bare Kind bamboo socks and in Market Place, Goodness and Grain will also be running a raffle with some amazing, sustainable prizes. Skylark Studio have donated a painting which can be won on our stall on Saturday and Oakhurst Garden Centre are running a Vintage afternoon tea and music evening on Friday 21st to fundraise for us. All businesses will be taking donations via our collection tins. 

On Friday, Oakhurst Garden Centre are hosting a fundraising vintage afternoon tea, with CAfS being one of the beneficiaries. If you can print and display the poster that would be awesome!

Representatives from CAfS will be in the town on Saturday to celebrate the end of charity week and will be hosting their own pop-up stall outside Sainsbury’s. Come along and see us there, ask any questions about our work or take part in our climate-themed games.  

You can also pick up a leaflet in any of the businesses supporting us throughout the week to find out more about our work and services.   

We look forward to seeing you there!
