In May and June, we held a Corporate Virtual Coast to Coast event, challenging teams to cover 171 miles in six weeks by walking, running, swimming or rowing across a virtual map of the UK. We had a fantastic response, with more than 130 people from 18 teams taking part, including a team of Cumbria Community Foundation staff. Participants clocked up an incredible 19,882 miles in total – equal to the distance from Cumbria to the South Pole and back, raising £15,000. A team from WCF was the first to complete the distance and also raised the most, thanks to a match funding donation from the firm. Managing Director Jo Ritzema said: “As long-standing supporters of Cumbria Community Foundation, we were delighted to support the charity in their silver anniversary year by doing something a bit different. “Our senior leadership team already had its own group on Strava, so taking part in the Virtual Coast to Coast Challenge was the perfect fit for us.” To the South Pole and back - virtually Throughout 2024, the Foundation promoted the power of philanthropy to change lives, encouraging our members to step up and get involved. Membership is a great way to regularly support the work of Cumbria Community Foundation. Over the past year, we have continued to welcome new corporate and individual members, as well as from the voluntary sector - thank you.
