We want to ensure that we are providing you with the support and services that you need. Our last sector survey revealed that funding/money is the biggest challenge the VCFSE sector in Cumbria faces. Our follow-up aims to dig deeper into this area, with questions seeking information we can use to provide additional support.
We’re working with easyfundraising to help the organisations in our network receive extra funding. Through easyfundraising everyday items bought from over 8,000 online retailers raises money. Over a year, just one person could raise £362 for their chosen good cause! Find out how to get your organisation involved.
