We are developing a Grants Policy to provide consistent grant funding programmes that deliver on council priorities, support local communities and help to maintain a sustainable Voluntary Community Faith Social Enterprise sector in Westmorland and Furness.
This survey will help to develop our policy and procedures so they work better for all applicants and the communities they serve.
We look forward to receiving your views and feedback.
The survey will close on Friday 29 September.
Have you been thinking about fostering and would like to find out more? Cumbria Fostering is running an information stand at Kendal’s Torchlight Street Festival on Saturday 23 September from 10am to 4pm.
While the fostering service already supports around 275 fostering households, we have an urgent need for more carers in all areas. So if you have a spare room and the time and commitment to nurture and support a child, then we’d love to hear from you.
In return we offer an excellent package of training, support and finances for each child you foster. Come along to our stand next Saturday and speak to our friendly team and carers and take your first step towards joining Cumbria’s Biggest Family!

Next week will be National Breastfeeding Week!
Breastfeeding is a skill that takes time to get the hang of. Lots of mums wonder if their baby's feeding well and getting enough – especially in the first few days.
But once you've mastered it, you'll probably find it's the easiest and most satisfying way to feed your baby.
Find out helpful information and advice on the NHS website .
If you have any breastfeeding worries or concerns, the best thing to do is speak to your midwife or health visitor, or join a local breastfeeding support group.
