About this cause

Ewanrigg Local trust is a resident and volunteer led organisation made up of people who want to make the Ewanrigg area an even better place to live. Residents want to improve their health, employment opportunities, green spaces and organise more family activities and trips. Examples include; with primary school children we have planted thousands of daffodil around the estate and bought wooden planters and filled them with flowers, We run a weekly job club, we set up and and run the Maryport Matters free quarterly magazine that is distributed to over 8000 homes and local businesses, we helped co-ordinate the Save or Beds campaign and now the Maryport Alliance. We have 10 members on our Partnership committee all of whom live or work in Maryport, four of whom are young people.

How this cause brings people in the community together

Volunteers and local businesses will learn life long skills through the free training in mental health, communication skills and suicide awareness. We want to break down the stigma of mental health and get the entire town talking about mental health. Hug a Mug will promote access to the support people of all ages need to improve their well-being. It will provide a volunteering opportunity.
