Tracey West, from our Social Impact Team, said:

We鈥檙e really keen to hear from any projects helping to address social and economic needs in Copeland and Allerdale.

We also fund feasibility studies. So, if you鈥檙e considering a larger project, we could fund your initial research to ensure its viability before you then seek further funding.
