Mrs Margaret Cumming
(Vice Chair)
I was born and grew up in Kendal although my Mum’s family are from West Cumbria. I left the north at 18 to train as an Occupational Therapist in Oxford and then moved to London to work in psychiatry where I met my husband. We then became full time adult placement carers and fostered teenagers while also running a church youth club.
In 1998 we moved back to Cumbria and live on a smallholding in Kirksanton where we provide holidays for people with disabilities.
My other roles in the community are:
•Treasurer and PCC member for St. Mary’s Church, Whicham.
• Director for Black Combe [ Whicham] Community Interest Company
•Kirksanton Village Hall Committee member
•Silecroft Village Hall Committee member as parish council representative
•Secretary Silecroft W.I.
My interests for our community include:
•Providing accessible community facilities including the outdoor experience for locals and visitors with disabilities.
•Continued development of a range of activities which encourage social, mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing and a sense of community.
•Promotion and protection of the heritage and natural environment of the parish of Whicham.
