Cumbria Community Foundation is urging more community groups in the Wigton area to apply for funding through the Joyce Wilkinson Trust Fund.

Grants for voluntary and community groups operating or providing charitable activities in or close to the parishes of Rosley and Westward, Wigton, and Aspatria in North Cumbria.

Grants are distributed from the fund twice a year and the Foundation is looking for more applications especially from projects supporting older people, children and young people. 

Examples of projects supported

• local play groups and nurseries
• refurbishment and equipment for village halls and community buildings
• youth group activities and equipment
• local support group for people affected by heart conditions and strokes

Priorities

Priority will be given to groups which:

• help people, particularly older adults and children and young people
• manage village facilities such as halls, play areas, and schools
• operate or provide services in or close to the parishes of Rosley, Westward, Wigton, and Aspatria
