Our Supporters
We have been very lucky over the last few years to be supported by UNITY, who were the statutory Drug and Alcohol service covering Cumbria. A UNITY executive once described us as Whitehaven's best kept secret. Unity are now Recovery Steps and they are the first agency to approach when making the decision to stop using any substances.
​
We have also had the privilege to have been funded by Cumbria Office of Police & Crime Commissioner Copeland Borough Council, and more recently Comic Relief in the Community and Cumbria Community Foundation. Copeland Community fund, Sellafield and Coalfields foundation.
​
We are indebted to the hard work of Together We Can Fundraising whom have understood our needs and consistently help us develop our services.
​
Vulture Club were nominated for and won the Copeland Best Community Project for the West Cumbria Community Heroes Awards 2014.
Copeland Community Fund have recognised our work with the development of our volunteers in 2016 and 2017.
