Our aim is to build the capacity of the third sector in Cumbria to better support the needs of our young people by directly aligning our activities with our strategic priorities.

The portfolio of projects available through the Infrastructure strand is informed by the needs of young people here in Cumbria and by supporting, engaging, and working in partnership with other third sector organisations and businesses.
