Lamont Pridmore Fund: Giving back to West Cumbria

The Lamont Pridmore Grassroots Fund is managed by Cumbria Community Foundation, a charity dedicated to meeting local needs through grant funding.

It provides grants for small, voluntary, community groups and grass-roots organisations to help them support their local community services and projects.  The Fund is available for projects supporting local people in Allerdale, particularly the Workington area.

Grants will normally be less than £1,000 over one year, however, there is no minimum or maximum award amount.

If you know of a project that could qualify and benefit from a grant, further information can be found on the Cumbria Community Foundation website.  https://www.cumbriafoundation.org/fund/lamont-pridmore-grassroots-grants-fund/

The local communities of West Cumbria have played an important part in our history and so we are delighted to be giving back to young people, local clubs, and organisations.

We hope this funding will help open up new opportunities to the region’s young people, which will feed back into the communities in which they live.

Graham Lamont, Chief Executive of Lamont Pridmore
