Our Purpose
We are profit for purpose.
This means we don’t have shareholders and our profits are reinvested in community benefit.
Our profits are invested in places and projects that improve the local economy; bring new opportunities for local communities; create and promote jobs; support business growth and improve the well-being and quality of life for people living and working in West Cumbria.
We collaborate with partners to address key issues, deliver the best outcomes and maximise the impact of our investments.
We care about our impact and want our assets and activities to work harmoniously with the communities that live alongside them and the built, natural and historic environments that surround them.
