Congratulations to the NSPCC for marking thirty years service to Cumbria.
As one of the local NSPCC supporters we were invited along to the celebrations at the NSPCC Cumbria HQ in Chatsworth square Carlisle, which was officially opened in 1987 by HRH Princess Margaret.
It was great to see the Cumbria NSPCC team and volunteers get the recognition they deserve from the NSPCC Chief Executive Peter Wanless and other local dignitaries.
He said “The opportunity to say thank you to these extraordinary volunteers who fund raise tirelessly who allow us to deliver this service which we wouldn’t be able to do without them is wonderful.
“It’s also to say thank you to the staff who do this incredibly difficult job which transforms the lives of children, it’s incredible.”

The Carlisle NSPCC service center
The manager at the Carlisle service center Iain McKay says: “It is tremendous that the NSPCC has been able to commit to Cumbria for so many years, I am so proud that all involved – be they staff or volunteers – show such dedication day in, day out.”
It was a great opportunity to highlight future targets like improving the the service centre building to make it more welcoming to the vulnerable children they support.
