Ullswater Trust Grassroots Fund

Cumbria Community Foundation

The Ullswater Trust Grassroots Fund is run by Cumbria Community Foundation. It gives grants to organisations for local projects in the former local authority area of Eden, particularly in Ullswater and Penrith. It is funded by an anonymous donor. The fund supports initiatives that reduce poverty, improve health, tackle social inequality and help people reach their potential. It also backs projects that nurture a sense of place or promote climate action. If your project fits one of these aims, it may be a good match. Charitable and not-for-profit organisations can apply. Examples of projects supported include refurbishing a community centre training room, respite for young carers, a disabled toilet and kitchen unit for a community centre, and playground equipment. Grants will normally be up to £2,000 over one year, so plan your budget around that figure. There are some things the fund will not support. It does not fund individuals or Scout trips, and the foundation's normal exclusions apply as well. All applications are made through the online application portal, and the page links to a step-by-step help guide. If you have questions, you can contact Lisa Blackwell on 01900 820 828 or at grants@cumbriafoundation.org. Official source: https://www.cumbriafoundation.org/fund/ullswater-grassroots-grants-fund/.

Violet Laidlaw Trust Fund

Cumbria Community Foundation

The Violet Laidlaw Trust Fund is run by Cumbria Community Foundation. It gives grants to groups and individuals who support people in the district of Carlisle who have been made homeless. The cause of homelessness may be alcohol and drug addiction, domestic violence, family breakdown or mental ill health. The fund has paid for practical things that help people into safer, more settled lives. Past examples include household items for a homeless person moving into a new home, renovation of buildings to create a supported accommodation service, tents for rough sleepers and a handy person's scheme. Grants will normally be up to £2,000 over one year. You can apply as an individual if you are supported by an independent case worker or health professional. Charitable, not-for-profit organisations can apply too. There are a couple of things to keep in mind. The foundation considers household income when it assesses an individual's application. Individuals will normally qualify for only one grant from the fund. All applications are made through the foundation's online application portal, and there is a step-by-step help guide to walk you through it. If you would like to talk about the fund first, you can contact Lisa Blackwell on 01900 825760 or at grants@cumbriafoundation.org. The page does not give a closing date.

Westmorland Community Fund

Cumbria Community Foundation

£500 - £10,000

The Westmorland Community Fund supports projects in the communities where Westmorland Ltd colleagues live. It is run by Cumbria Community Foundation and was set up in 2009 by the Dunning Family of Westmorland Ltd. The aim is to help these communities thrive, create a legacy and deliver long term benefits. Grants range from £500 to £10,000. Multi-year grants are only considered for projects that show strong potential to grow their impact over time, for example by attracting further funding, inspiring new initiatives or encouraging wider community involvement. The fund suits community groups that support young people, manage facilities such as community halls and youth clubs, or provide community-based services. Your project must take place in Appleby-in-Westmorland, Brough, Kirkby Stephen, Penrith, Stainton, Shap, Tebay or Kendal. Priority goes to projects that help named communities thrive, support young people to reach their potential, improve mental health and wellbeing, link with the Westmorland family's interests in sustainable development and local produce, farming and craft, or have real potential to grow and leave a legacy. Examples the funder gives include youth clubs, skills training for young people, mental health workshops, community building renovations and enterprise mentoring projects. The funder also hopes to build a lasting, two-way relationship with the groups it supports. It welcomes groups that are keen to connect with Westmorland colleagues. Applications are open now. One practical caveat: the fund will not support individuals, one-off or annual events, trips, nature projects, sports clubs, animal charities or public toilets.

William Milburn Charitable Trust Community First Fund

The William Milburn Charitable Trust Community First Fund is run by Cumbria Community Foundation. It offers grants to organisations working in the parish of Brampton and surrounding areas, including Castle Carrock, Hethersgill, Askerton, Lanercost, Scaleby, Upper Denton, Walton and Farlam. It is a good fit if your project serves people in this part of Cumbria. The fund supports initiatives that reduce poverty, improve health, tackle social inequality and help people reach their potential. It also backs projects that nurture a sense of place or promote climate action in the local area. Past examples give a good feel for what suits. They include a young carers support trip, a community music festival, tools for children to look after a school vegetable garden, drop-in clinics for people with acute hearing loss and a new kitchen in a village hall. Grants will normally be up to £5,000 over one year. The fund is for charitable, not-for-profit organisations. It will not support individuals, and the Foundation's normal exclusions also apply. All applications are made through the Foundation's online portal, and there is a step-by-step help guide to walk you through it. The page does not give a closing date. If you have questions about the fund, you can call Joe Cosby on 01900 511 856 or email grants@cumbriafoundation.org.

Wing Cdr. H. Thompson MBE & Rev. J. L. Green Grassroots Grants Fund

Cumbria Community Foundation

This fund from Cumbria Community Foundation gives grants to organisations in the Barrow-in-Furness area. It supports young people's personal development, education and involvement in the community, as well as environmental initiatives. It suits charitable, not-for-profit organisations that work with young people locally. Priority goes to projects that offer training in leadership, self-discipline and life skills for young people, or that encourage respect for the environment. The funder gives some examples of projects it has supported. These include a sailing trip for disadvantaged young people, equipment for a judo or karate club, training costs for Scouts or Guides, and running costs or building repairs for Sea Cadets. Grants will normally be up to £1,000 over one year. That makes this a good fit for small, grassroots groups with a clear and modest ask. The fund comes from an anonymous donor. Applications are made through the foundation's online application portal, and there is a step-by-step help guide to walk you through it. One thing to bear in mind: the fund does not support individuals, in addition to the foundation's normal exclusions. If you are unsure whether your project fits, you can contact Siona Hartley at the foundation on 01900 820824 or by email at siona@cumbriafoundation.org.

Workington (Ashfield) Lawn Tennis Club Fund

Cumbria Community Foundation

This fund from Cumbria Community Foundation helps organisations provide tennis coaching to young people in the former local authority area of Allerdale. The money comes from a private organisation donor. You can use a grant for the cost of employing a tennis coach. It can also cover facility hire, so young people have somewhere to learn to play. Competition-related costs are included too, such as referee fees and trophies. The fund suits charitable, not-for-profit organisations that promote or enable tennis coaching for young people. Priority goes to coaching that benefits young people who live in Workington and Maryport. If your project reaches young people in those towns, say so clearly in your application. Grants will normally be up to £4,500 over one year. That is the usual ceiling, so plan your costs with it in mind and focus on the coaching, hire or competition costs you need most. Because the grant covers one year, think about what your coaching programme will look like over that period. All applications are now made through the foundation's online application portal. A step-by-step portal help guide is available on the fund page if you want to see how it works before you start. For questions about the fund, you can contact Annalee Holliday, Head of Grants Practice and Programmes, on 01900 820824 or at grants@cumbriafoundation.org.
