We’re very proud to be supported by high-profile national and local funders, who are making it possible for us to deliver real change in Cumbria. Here are the funders for our current projects. We are also working on projects supported by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).

Almost everything we do involves working with partners, from across Cumbria and nationally. That’s because sustainability is a thread that runs through every aspect of life, and bringing about real change means engaging and involving as many people as possible.

We work with local authorities, a wide range of public-sector and third-sector agencies, schools and colleges, businesses and community groups, among others.
