Deadline: 3-Sep-21
The Cumbria Community Foundation has launched the Dora Beeforth Memorial Fund Grants to support young people from low income families to participate in sport and foreign travel.
The Fund was established in memory of Dora Beeforth, the wife of the Foundation’s first Director. Dora was born in Cumbria and attended the Lakes School in Windermere. She enjoyed the outdoors, was a volunteer warden with the Lake District National Park and a volunteer with Cumbria Youth Theatre.
She was also a keen runner and orienteer. The Fund was created in her memory to enable children and young people to experience activities and opportunities which they otherwise would not be able to afford.
