Cumbria Pride
Area: Allerdale, Barrow, Carlisle, Copeland, Eden, South Lakes
Purpose/aim of your organisation:
Cumbria Pride support the LGBT+ community in Cumbria. Our mission is to increase LGBT+ visibility with an aim of raising awareness and improving community understanding!
Cumbria Pride originally started in 2009 to bring ‘Pride’ to Cumbria. The aim was to show that Pride is not just something for big cities but also for rural areas and the small towns too. An event was held at the University of Cumbria campus in Carlisle, with just around 50 invited guests attending. We have since evolved and grown into the organisation we are today.
List of activities and/or services provided by your organisation:
Now we hold a main Pride event every year, to ensure that the LGBT+ community of Cumbria and its supporters are recognised, celebrated and supported. We celebrated our 10th year with an event in Carlisle Castle with over 5000 in attendance. Sadly in 2020 we were unable to hold a physical event due to covid, so we devised a virtual project throughout the year instead.
Our team of volunteers work all year round, with the support of our local businesses and organisations (especially our SPONSORS), arranging and attending activities, social events, information sharing days, offering support, and delivering training … as well as (of course!) holding our main Pride Event!
It has always been our aim to keep our main event completely free of charge. As a committee we feel this is important for our community, so that the positive messages of inclusion can reach as many people as possible. Whilst society has come a long way from the Stonewall riots which is how ‘Pride’ originally all began, still today some members of the LGBT+ community suffer discrimination, exclusion and many are afraid just to be who they are.

Cumbria Speak Their Name CIC (Suicide Memorial Quilt)
Area: Allerdale, Barrow, Carlisle, Copeland, Eden, South Lakes
Purpose/aim of your organisation:
The company will benefit anyone bereaved by suicide in Cumbria, or with a connection to Cumbria. The companies activities will provide support to help individuals as they will receive peer support while learning new skills of art, embroidery and fibre painting.. These skills will help individuals create a square in the memory of their family member/friend etc, which will become part of a larger Cumbria Speak Their Name Memorial Quilt/s. Suicide for many years as been seen a taboo subject, people afraid to talk about it and often hidden withing families. Grief by suicide is very complex and long lasting and people often avoid talking to the bereaved about their loss as people are not comfortable talking about suicide. It is hoped that these workshops will allow people to learn new skills and the freedom to talk about their loved on in a safe space. Quilting has a long history of story telling and Its hoped the quilt will travel around the county being exhibited in community spaces and then as part of countrywide exhibition with Yorkshire, Manchester, North East, Herefordshire, Northumbria, Lancashire and Fife Speak Their Names.
I have spoken to someone from your organisation who was quite dismissive about what we were trying to do, and asked me to state how it would help, when Everylife Matters is already a successful suicide charity in the county. Please see attached webpage to get a greater understanding of what we are doing. https://shiningalightonsuicide.org.uk/speak-their-name/
List of activities and/or services provided by your organisation:
Peer support for bereavement from suicide with an across county suicide support community
Workshops across the county for learning Art and Craft skills in a safe non judgmental enviroment
Being part of a large collaborative piece of memorial art
Individuals seeing their work and the memory of their loved one, exhibited and celebrated in a book, a memory forever.
