Priorities
Trustees keep local need under review regularly to ensure grants are targeted to the most deserving causes. These are currently:
- Tackling disadvantage in rural communities
- Tackling disadvantage in pockets of deprivation including the top 20% most deprived wards (list of relevant wards)
- Supporting disadvantaged children and young people
- Hidden and emerging need
We do support other projects outside these priorities which focus on disadvantaged groups in Cumbria.
