Since 1999, with the help of our generous supporters across the county and beyond, we have raised and given out almost £70 million to help over 3,400 groups and 7,400 individuals. About Us Living in Cumbria has some serious upsides. A World Heritage Status landscape with good people who look out for each other. It can also be tough. Really tough. The beautiful landscape hides intense poverty and lack of opportunity. Two things that fuel each other. Cumbria has a strong history of community and people working together to face challenges. We exist to continue and build that community. Why we do what we do We can help you transform lives in your community Call us: 01900 825760 2 3 Email us: enquiries@cumbriafoundation.org
