A CHARITY dedicated to helping communities across Cumbria has notched up its 100th corporate member.

Cumbria Community Foundation organised an evening cruise on Ullswater to mark the milestone. A host of companies countywide have signed up to support the charity, set up in the wake of foot-and-mouth.

It has made more than 1,300 grants, raised more than £6 million and has £1 million to give away in grants this year.
