More than £27,000 has been raised for 45 different charities at the third Cockermouth Charities Week.
Charities Week, organised by Cockermouth & District Chamber of Trade, took place in July. Since then, the money has been flooding in to the 80 businesses and organisations which took part. The culmination of a week of fundraising was a family fun day which saw stalls all around the town. There was also a Dining Delights raffle, with a Michelin-starred lunch at The Cottage in the Wood as its top prize. All the proceeds from the raffle went to the Chamber’s chosen charity for 2024, the befriending organisation Linking Lives Cockermouth.
