Happy to help

We support a mixture of sports, recreational, arts, cultural and traditional events each year to get messages across about the National Park. We either provide resources to help out or give a financial boost through sponsorship. If you're an event organiser and would like to team up in 2009, please email andrea.hills@lake-district.gov.uk
