Open Space Award results

Earlier this week The Our Green Space project was confirmed as runner up in the Open Spaces Society - Open Space Award.  The Our Green Space Project was a Cumbria wide project, managed in partnership with Friends of The Lake District and Action with Communities in Cumbria and funded by Heritage Lotterys "Your Heritage" grant scheme.  We were one of five Cumbrian projects included in, and befitting from the scheme which aimed  to celebrate and enhance the heritage, cultural, environmental and community value of open green spaces in Cumbria for all to enjoy.

Jan Darrall from Friends of the Lake District commented "The Our Green Space project has been announced as runner up in the national Open Space Awards and we are really delighted. It is a real testament to all the hard work and commitment you all put in so we hope you are very proud too. The winner was a meadow in Surrey. The judges paid tribute to the commitment, energy and outputs of you all, so really well done and thanks for working with us"

Congratulations and well done to all involved
