Haverigg Lighthouse Committee
Area: Copeland
Purpose/aim of your organisation:
The refurbishment and ongoing maintenance of a unique cast iron lighthouse on the sea wall at Haverigg, Cumbria. The lighthouse is the last remaining structure from the Millom Iron Works which operated between 1859 and 1960, producing the best iron ore in the world. The iron ore was used nationwide and was also shipped overseas, with hundreds of ships being required for it's transport and hence the need for a lighthouse to guide the vessels through the sandbanks off the Haverigg coast. The lighthouse is a popular landmark for local people, a lasting reminder of their heritage, and our aim is to ensure it's existence for future generations.

Maintaining a focal point for the well-being of the community and to supplement the encouragement of tourism working alongside the proposed Iron Line.

Hesket Newmarket Community Shop
Area: Allerdale, Eden
Purpose/aim of your organisation:
Our village shop and post office in Hesket Newmarket is in danger of closing due to the retirement of the current owner and subsequent sale of the premises.
In the present climate it is unlikely that anyone would buy it as a going concern, our dilemma being that this valuable asset would then be lost to the community.
There has been a shop and post office in the village for about 200 years, but if we don’t do something about it quickly, we need to raise more funds or we risk it being lost to us forever
List of activities and/or services provided by your organisation:
We are a Community Benefit Society, registered with the Financial Conduct Authority 9295. We have raised £354k in a share offer and a further £32k in fundraising. We live in a very rural and sparsely populated part of North Cumbria. We need to raise a further £150k to get over the finishing line.
Our project will benefit
*all residents regardless of age, sex, colour or creed.
*provide everyday essentials at affordable prices as well as using local suppliers and supporting farming families
*facilitate the only banking service - by keeping the Post Office open in a 200sq mile rural area of Cumbria's Northern Fells
*maintain a warm hub for the community, essentially being the eyes and ears for disadvantaged people and those living on their own
*providing a place where the likes of youth and especially at present, farmers are happy to visit, talk and get support
*introduce a reuse station for domestic products, we have already reduced the use of plastic bags by introducing our own 'Bags of Choice' scheme
*supply an information service for visitors
*among many other immeasurable benefits to the local community
However as we have not taken ownership yet we are looking at all sources for funding our remaining target
