Equality, Diversity & Inclusion
Active Cumbria is committed to eliminating discrimination and encouraging diversity and inclusion within our workforce, in the partnerships we support and in the services we deliver. We oppose all forms or unlawful and unfair discrimination including direct and indirect discrimination, harassment, bullying and victimisation.
The Partnership aims to break down the barriers to make sport accessible to all ensuring that everyone in Cumbria has more opportunities to participate in sport and enjoy physical activity as an integral part of everyday life, irrespective of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion and belief, sex and sexual orientation.
What are we doing?
Through the Together Fund we have supported a number of projects in our Black, Asian and people from ethnic minority backgrounds. These include the Women's Panah Project in Carlisle, Groundwork Empowering Communities in Allerdale, Multicultural Cumbria and Furness Multi-Cultural Forum Youth Club. You can find out more about the projects here. The next phase of Together Fund will see a continuation of this focused work.
