As an ex-resident of Cumbria I have been following the flooding news and am horrified to see places I know suffering like this. I think there are quite a few people in Caithness who have links with Cumbria through work in the nuclear industry and so thought you may be interested in donating to the appeals fund. Details below.
Anyone who would like to donate to the fund should visit: www.cumbriafoundation.org or send cheques made payable to Cumbria Community Foundation at Dovenby Hall, Dovenby, Cockermouth, Cumbria CA13 0PN.
For more information call: 01900 820827.
AN appeal has been launched to raise money for those individuals and communities affected by flooding across Cumbria.
Set up by Cumbria Community Foundation, the Cumbria Flood Recovery Appeal has already received £50,000 from Nuclear Management Partner.
General manager Graham Campbell said: “The situation in West Cumbria is unprecedented and it is vital that help arrives to those affected.”
Workington MP Tony Cunningham said he is delighted to be endorsing the fund.
He said: “Cumbria Community Foundation organised the appeal for the Carlisle floods in 2005 and have everything in place to run to ensure that funding gets to the community groups and individuals who really need the support.”
The fund will focus on providing money for individuals and families experiencing financial hardship as a result of the floods.
It will also raising money for voluntary and community organisations that are spearheading the relief work.
