David Beeby DL, Chair of Trustees, Cumbria Community Foundation

In a few short years we have gone from ‘why do we need a University of Cumbria’ to the university being an integral part of the ongoing eco system of Cumbria. The increasing role the University of Cumbria is fulfilling in developing students of all ages to meet the growing need for qualified staff in a wide range of professions is of vital importance to the health and wellbeing of the county. Thank you for your very much needed contribution to our county.
