Project Name: Susans Farm CIC
Description: Susan's Farm CIC was set up and incorporated in 2015 as a natural progression from the work established by its founder with the aim of creating a sustainable viable future for the organisation. Over the last ten years the educational and care farming elements of this organisation, based in Houghton near Carlisle, have grown gradually so that in 2016 there were over 300 school and community visits to the farm and in addition 2-4 care farming groups each week. This project will support the creation of a permanent Food and Farming Learning & Community centre to develop the established education and care farming activities including a kitchen to allow visitors to prepare meals. The centre also acts as a community hub for village events and works with a wide range of users from school children to teenagers and adults with challenging needs.

Project Name: Chimney Sheep
Description: The ‘Chimney Sheep’ is a unique draught excluder made of felted Herdwick wool on a plastic clamp. It is inserted into the chimney throat to reduce heat loss, draughts and wind noise when the fire is unlit. This project invested in re-tooling for the ten plastic components which comprise the handles and extensions in order to ensure the products are high quality and as durable as possible. This will enable this new business, established in 2012, and based in Maryport to continue to grow and develop its export markets.
