Young Cumbria is a charity serving young people in Cumbria. We are at an exciting juncture where we are relaunching our services to young people. We now have three main areas of work:

1. Young Cumbria Solutions. This work remedies gaps in the services to young people and finds solutions to key issues. This includes our community based Foundations Project working with 400 young offenders and young people at risk of offending each year on the West Coast, as well as Youth Voice Projects, conducting research and advocacy on behalf of young people to ensure that their needs and views shape services and policy.


2. Young Cumbria Business. We are currently fundraising to re-build our residential centre on the shore of Derwentwater. Once re-built, The View will be a social enterprise run by young people for young people providing traineeships and apprenticeships for young people from our Foundations project. We will be providing a catering service with our apprentices from The View, in partnership with celebrity chef Peter Sidwell for the community and for corporate clients.


3. Young Cumbria Heritage. This work supports adult volunteers who deliver youth clubs in communities, through our membership services and training. The work is underpinned by our commercial training and consultancy offer.
