Corporate Funds

Cumbrian Newspapers Fund

The Cumbrian Newspapers Group donated £100,000 in 2000 to establish the Cumbrian Newspapers Fund.
A portfolio of projects reflecting the interests of the company is presented annually to the company for consideration.
The groups that benefit are selected by the Chief Executive Robin Burgess. Grants are made in the name of the Cumbrian Newspapers charitable trust.

"CN Group, as Cumbria's local independent newspaper company, has always been interested and involved in reporting the many ways community groups help themselves and those less fortunate within the county. We have consequently been enthusiastic supporters of the Cumbria Community Foundation since it started. We were delighted that we were able to use part of a financial 'windfall' to make a substantial donation to create the Cumbrian Newspapers Fund. This means that we will now be able to distribute the income from this to worthwhile causes every year, hence making a very tangible difference to people's lives."
Robin Burgess, Chief Executive
