Community Catalysts helps people to get set up and work for themselves, running their own community enterprises, offering care and support to older and disabled people in their communities across Cumbria (South Lakes, Furness, Eden, Allerdale and Copeland). The programme is funded by Westmorland and Furness Council and Cumberland Council.
People running these “community enterprises” could offer any kind of help at home, such as cleaning, cooking, shopping, trips out, sitting and chatting, support to dress and wash, DIY, gardening and more. Community enterprises are run by passionate people who want to:
- Work locally
- Help their community
- Choose their own hours
- Set a fair rate of pay
- Be proud of the quality service they offer
Could you set up your own community enterprise to support your local community?
