Championing our local communities
At BEC, we use our profits to champion our local communities and deliver lasting social impact – creating a brighter future for everyone.
When we’re not investing directly in regeneration and development projects, we’re putting time, expertise and funding into initiatives that make a difference in the heart of communities across Cumbria.
We partner with local businesses, clubs and charities to deliver programmes that offer people access to support, skills and employment.
Find out more about current BEC and partner programmes below.

Net Zero Commitment
Do you want to make an impact with us?
Over the years we’ve given bundles of time, energy and expertise to support some great causes. And, we’re always looking to do more.
More to support health and wellbeing. More to make Westlakes Science Park a healthy, carbon neutral working environment. More to regenerate our local area and create new jobs and opportunities. More to promote learning and education. More to make West Cumbria a better place to live, work and play.
If you’re interested in collaborating with us to make a difference for our local community, get in touch with Sam today.
