LOTTERY AWARD 2000 – 2001 In 2000 the National Lottery Charities Board awarded West Cumbria Society for the Blind a new grant. This award was to continue salaries for the Project Manager and Secretary/Information Officer and to employ home support workers as the work of the Society had identified the lack of services available to elderly visually impaired especially the housebound. Four part time home support workers were appointed to relieve social isolation and bring information and equipment to people’s homes. The Project Manager and Secretary continued to fundraise. Local businesses including Sellafield Snowball Committee, British Steel, Safeway, Francis C. Scott and the Rotary/Lions Clubs, all donated money to buy equipment and to provide outings. Copeland Borough Council along with the R.N.I.B. assisted with the building maintenance. Next Page >> | History Index |
