Welcome to Cumberland

Today marks the start of Carers Week (8–14 June 2026), with Cumberland Council kicking off the week by launching its new Carers Charter and thanking members of the Cumberland Carers Forum for their collaboration in co-producing the document, which places unpaid carers at the heart of care and support.

Residents across Cumberland are being invited to have their say on local highways and transport services as part of a national survey taking place this summer.

Communities across Cumberland are set to come together this June for a vibrant programme of Big Lunch celebrations, showcasing the very best of local food, sustainability and community spirit.
