Kirkby Lonsdale Fire Disaster Recovery Appeal

  • Description

    On Sunday, 8th December 2024, the town of Kirkby Lonsdale suffered a devastating fire in the old Market Hall, impacting the Market Street and ancient heart of the beautiful town. One resident sadly lost their life, and a number of local residents have been made homeless. A significant number of businesses have been seriously affected. This incident has caused significant financial hardship and emotional distress to those affected. A number of businesses and community groups are unable to trade. The full impact of the fire is still emerging, but recovery is likely to take many months. Cumbria Community Foundation has launched this appeal, at the request of the Kirkby Lonsdale Community Recovery Partnership, to relieve hardship caused directly or indirectly by the fire. The first priority is to support individuals or families that have suffered financial hardship because of the fire and to help with wider community relief and recovery efforts.....
