Expertise

At Invest Lake District, we foster a sense of community and shared responsibility.

We believe in the power of collaboration, working hand in hand with businesses, visitors, community groups, and public bodies, all united by our collective love for the Lake District.

Together, we invest in conservation, environmental, and cultural heritage projects and foster innovative solutions. Our collective influence and impact are growing and thriving year on year. We invite you to join us on this continuous growth and success journey.

Since becoming a charity in 2017, we have worked on projects with over 80 community groups and 60 businesses, and we’ve planted more than 30,000 trees and 1000 metres of hedgerows. These have helped to reduce carbon emissions in the Lake District by over 1100 tons.

High quality projects

Our project board meticulously selects our projects using a rigorous evaluation process, ensuring only the highest-quality initiatives are chosen.

Selection criteria include proven reputation, evidence-based solutions, and measurable impact on the community and landscape.

Our projects boast a strong innovation and success track record, delivering provable benefits through enhanced community resilience and environmental restoration. Emphasising carbon reduction and biodiversity, they address critical needs while pioneering new methods in sustainability.

Investors can trust our commitment to excellence, transparency, and tangible, positive outcomes for people and nature.
