Northern Exile 16 Apr 10:07am, 16 Apr 2024 10,248 posts	0 Northern Exile Does anyone have a favourite Lake District Charity? I have a sum of money that I'd like to donate and am wondering how to make best use of it. Suggestions welcome.
Derby Tup 16 Apr 10:10am, 16 Apr 2024 65,461 posts	0 Derby Tup One of the Mountain Rescue teams maybe
Mushroom 16 Apr 10:13am, 16 Apr 2024 3,114 posts	0 Mushroom You can't go far wrong with them, and / or the Great North Air Ambulance?
SimonF 16 Apr 10:18am, 16 Apr 2024 436 posts	0 SimonF The Brathay Trust and the Lakes Calvert Trust both do good work.
jacdaw 16 Apr 11:34am, 16 Apr 2024 4,395 posts	0 jacdaw John Muir trust; but they are mostly Scotland.
Northern Exile 16 Apr 12:33pm, 16 Apr 2024 10,249 posts	0 Northern Exile Thanks for the suggestions. I have donated to Keswick MRT and the air ambulance in the past, so I think on this occasion the Calvert Trust is looking good.

Mushroom 16 Apr 2:10pm, 16 Apr 2024 3,116 posts	0 Mushroom As an aside - my mate has a very interesting google tracker showing him travelling from south Lakes to Carlisle hospital on the air ambulance, just after he'd had a cardiac arrest - about 50miles in 20minutes. Luckily, he was home after a few days to show it off

Somewhere you can confidently ask "which is the best chip shop in Keswick?" and expect an intelligent reply.

Lots of experience and good advice available here, from which B & B or YHA to the best fell for Grandma to climb :-)
