COPELAND Council has extended funding to a credit union to help those in need get back on an even keel.
The council has a long-standing funding agreement with the Whitehaven, Egremont and District Credit Union, helping families and individuals access grants when they are experiencing hardship.
Because of the pandemic and the extra financial pressure it has caused for some residents, the council has extended this funding by £20,000.

A NEW walking app inspired by the work of a Millom poet could bring culture-hungry visitors to the 'hidden gem' of a town.
The Norman Nicholson digital trail will take in routes that the poet himself would regularly walk.
The trails - there are currently two, with three more in the pipeline - are not just about Nicholson, and can be enjoyed by general visitors of all ages. It is hoped that people will enjoy the app in line with any current Covid-related restrictions.
