About Cumbria Community Foundation Living in Cumbria has some serious upsides. 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. People working together to face challenges. Cumbria Community Foundation exists to continue and build that. Since 1999, we’ve been bringing together people who love Cumbria to make our county stronger so local people can meet the challenges they face and achieve their potential. We’re grant making experts with deep understanding of Cumbria. Over the last 23 years, with the help of our supporters, we have raised and given out almost £60 million to more than 4,000 organisations and 8,000 people. The last few years have highlighted more than ever the need for community support. Whether you’re an individual or business wanting to make a difference, we offer a range of options to help amplify your giving. www.cumbriafoundation.org Front cover image: Seven members of Tanya Mulholland’s family fled the war in Kyiv and travelled to safety here in April.
