Notice Board

Volunteering as a driver is a flexible and rewarding way to give something back to the local community. Our drivers play a vital role in helping people access essential appointments, social activities and opportunities to stay connected. The people we support are incredibly grateful, and for many of them, these journeys are the difference between being able to get out and about or remaining isolated at home.

The demand for the service continues to grow. Recently, we had to decline four requests for assistance in a single week because we simply did not have enough volunteer drivers available. It was incredibly disappointing to be unable to help those individuals, and it highlights just how urgently we need to grow our team of volunteers.

We would be extremely grateful for any support you can offer in helping us spread the word and reach potential volunteers. If there is any further information you'd like, or if there's anything else we can provide, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Good Afternoon

You may be aware that Allerdale’s Development Panel approved our application ADD/2020/0001 yesterday, therefore we will be starting to operate the M-Sport Evaluation Centre test track imminently.

I just wanted to get in touch with you about how you can contact us regarding our use of the track. We have just published a new website, www.mec-track.co.uk, which is dedicated to informing the local community about our use of the track, and includes a calendar of our planned use and contact details.

I also wanted to let you know about the letter that we’ve just distributed to residents of Dovenby and other properties close to the Dovenby Hall Estate – I have attached a copy of this letter for your records. Please feel free to share this with anyone you consider necessary.

Many Thanks

Katie

In 2001 Margaret and the late John Thorpe produced a footpaths map of the parish of Bridekirk.

The original was a paper copy, which is now reproduced here as a downloadable document.
