What was happening for your community in 1948?
ACTion with Communities in Cumbria started in October 1948 so we are 75 this year. We will be celebrating our 75 years on the 8th September at Sunbeams in Penrith and we would like you to join us, either in person or online.
Then and Now Is the name of our celebration. We’d love to hear about what was happening in your community, in 1948, and how it has changed over the years
You can send us copies of photos, newspaper cuttings, memorabilia or memories of events in your own words; anything that was happening between 1948 - 1950 in your community. We're also interested in what is happening in your community now and if it relates at all!
We will be:
- sharing all the information we receive on our website
- presenting some of it on the 8th September
- working with an artist, to share the stories and themes at our event
Please only send us copies of things, because things may be precious to your community and we won’t be able to return things. You can send one or several items, along with your comments about Then and Now. We will be recognising contributions with commendations and prizes.
Entries are open now until the 8th August. All entries should be emailed in a pdf or by We Transfer. If you need help with this, please get in touch with Dani on info@cumbriaaction.org.uk or call 01768 452666
We will announce the awards at our celebration event, on the 8th September. We look forward to celebrating with you! If you would like to attend - either in person, or online, please use this booking link.
