Active Cumbria, The Sport & Physical Activity Partnership (hereafter referred to as Active Cumbria) is one of 49 County Sports Partnerships, covering every area of England. A county sports partnership is a network of key agencies committed to working together to increase participation in sport and physical activity. Partners include national governing bodies of sport and their clubs, local authorities, sport and leisure facilities, public health, education, and many other non-sporting organisations. Although county sports partnerships are funded through Sport England to deliver a range of specific services and programmes, Active Cumbria proactively engage with a much wider range of partners on a variety of services to benefit the people and communities of Cumbria. Active Cumbria is supported in achieving its aims by a Partnership Steering Group and by a core team of professional staff who provide leadership, co-ordination and structures which allow people and organisations to work more effectively together at a sub-regional level. The Partnership and its core team are hosted within the Adult and Local Services Directorate of Cumbria County Council. Active Cumbria believe that the partnership's priorities and cross cutting work areas have a vital contribution to make in achieving Cumbria County Council's and Adult and Local Services key priorities and aspirations. The Council's emphasis on supporting and improving the life chances of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged members of our community are reflected in our priorities and future work areas. These priorities contribute to achieving the outcomes identified in Active Cumbria's recently launched Strategy for Sport & Physical Activity covering the period 2013-17. As articulated in its recently launched Strategy, Active Cumbria has a clear purpose, which is 'to work with all partners to achieve healthy and active communities in Cumbria through sport and physical activity'. It is only through working together that the Partnership's vision of 'everyone in Cumbria has more opportunities to participate in sport and enjoy physical activity as an integral part of everyday life' will be achieved. By continuing to work with key partners in an open, proactive, honest, and mutually beneficial way, Active Cumbria will ensure that its vision and purpose have the best opportunity to be achieved.

CRIBS International is an experienced, longstanding and reputable NGO working in Athens, Greece. We focus on provision of the following: Refugee women and infant's housing project, Casework, psychologist, legal, medical and employment support, Community development work and a Free Shop for women and children ensuring distribution with dignity. At CRIBS International, our mission is to house and support refugee women who are in their final trimester of pregnancy or who have a new-born baby and have arrived in Greece, having fled conflict and exploitation. We provide this emergency support for the first 12 months of a baby's life to allow them to be born into a nurturing environment. CRIBS offers a lifeline to the women we support, many of whom are travelling alone and some being survivors of rape and sexual exploitation. When they reach Athens, despite being pregnant, the women receive no support from the authorities and are left to manage in any way they can as the state does not deem them vulnerable. Many become street homeless and prey to further abuse, or are forced into unsafe, closed camps with inadequate food, where violence is endemic and where health care facilities are almost non-existent. In the words of one of the women we support, 'When you arrive in Greece, it's difficult to restart your life with nothing'. By providing shelter, safety and support, we prevent homelessness and protect lives. More than this, we also work to empower women to begin to recover from trauma, to get back on their feet and to rebuild their life. Our goal is to provide the support needed to enable them to integrate into society, live independently and become part of the community to which circumstances have brought them.
