The Positive Enterprise Program by Cumbria Community Foundation aims to empower young people aged 14-25 from disadvantaged backgrounds in West Cumbria by providing them with the opportunity to realize their ideas, think creatively, and test out their enterprising concepts with support and expert guidance. The Positive Enterprise Program, in partnership with the Centre for Leadership Performance, focuses on nurturing future leaders by offering grants of £1,000 to successful applicants, along with expert support, coaching, mentoring, workshops, and learning opportunities to help them develop their entrepreneurial skills and bring their ideas to life.

The Community Foundation for Lancashire (CFL) is one of 48 community foundations across the UK. The Foundation's aim is to provide funding for projects that will enrich the lives of people in and around Lancashire and through them create united, thriving and prosperous communities. Support generally falls under the broad heading of social welfare. Applications must demonstrate a strong case for support, have clear aims and objectives, and, wherever possible, the applicant organisation or project will be user led and make a real difference to people within the community. CFL is able to fund a wide range of capital and revenue project costs. Individual organisations, partnerships and young people aged 16 - 24 years can apply for support to a range of grant streams.
