Join Our Cause
As a charity, we have to raise funds for local projects and core costs. Activities we deliver are:
Culture Bazaar – An annual multicultural event in Carlisle that averages 4,000 visitors over the February half-term weekend.
During Covid-19 Lockdown, we have produced Culture Club Magazine online, to share experiences, knowledge & skills to keep connected and raise awareness of the cultural diversity in Cumbria
