7 One Acorn Fund that reached the £25,000 mark recently was the Napthens Cumbria Fund. Set up in 2016 by local legal firm Napthens LLP, it has grown over the years through fundraising events such as clay pigeon shoots and rounders matches. As a regional business, we want our charitable activities to benefit the communities we serve. In Cumbria, it would be an enormous task to support causes individually and directly. In creating our own fund within Cumbria Community Foundation, we can count upon their extensive knowledge, experience and guidance to ensure that grants will be used to support many worthwhile causes over the whole area. - Jamie Allison, Head of Napthens’ Cumbria Jamie and his colleagues have enjoyed building their fund with the support of their associates and contacts and have now extended their initial £25,000 target to continue fundraising. From an initial donation of just £100 in July 2016, Napthens’ Acorn has been well and truly established and will continue to grow and flourish for many years to come.
