Welcome to Cumberland

Cumberland Libraries are excited to announce their plans for Green Libraries Week 2023; a nationwide celebration of sustainable practices, environmental awareness, and community engagement.

Cumbria Fostering is set to launch its latest recruitment campaign across the county tomorrow (26 September) with the release of a powerful new film created in collaboration with more than 80 other local authority fostering services.

Like many councils up and down the country, Cumberland Council is working hard to control escalating costs in services such as Adult and Children's care, whilst simultaneously managing the transition to the new unitary authority. In the Council’s finance report for quarter one, it acknowledges the scale of the financial challenges ahead.
