Our Mission

Our Community Interest Company (CIC)

In the heart of Langdale, where the mountains touch the sky and nature's beauty flourishes, a new chapter unfolds—a chapter that celebrates community, sustainability, and the preservation of our beloved valley. Our Community Interest Company (CIC) is born with a noble purpose: to safeguard the legacy of Langdale, uphold its services, and ensure its prosperity even in the face of challenges.

A Community's Call to Action

Langdale's allure is undeniable, drawing second homeowners, tourists, and those who cherish its splendor. Yet, this popularity brings its own set of trials. With the rise in second home ownership and the gradual decline of our local population, the very services that sustain us are under threat. Our CIC rises to meet this challenge, acting as a bridge between community needs and the resources required to fulfill them.

Unveiling the Path Forward

Our CIC serves as a beacon of unity, a mechanism that weaves together the threads of Langdale's past, present, and future. Through the generous donations of local businesses, tourists, and second homeowners who share our love for this valley, we will create a lifeline that directly supports the valley's services. Essential facilities like our School and village hall, which bind us together, will be protected and sustained by the contributions of those who believe in Langdale's worth.

A Journey of Collective Growth

Our journey is just beginning. As our CIC takes its first steps, we present monthly meetings that harness the power of community. Together, we will explore avenues to expand our revenue, invest wisely, and ensure Langdale's longevity. Local residents and businesses are invited to apply for funding, reflecting our shared belief in the valley's potential. Through collective decision-making, we will allocate resources where they are most needed and create a tapestry of resilience.

Building a Future of Possibilities

Our aspirations extend beyond sustaining the present; they embrace a future where Langdale thrives. As our CIC blossoms, we dream of acquiring available housing stock to retain the heart of our community. We envision restoring the bonds of knowledge and camaraderie by repatriating residents, as well as addressing skill shortages and inviting expertise back to our valley.

A Tapestry of Unity

Our vision is inclusive, weaving together all who hold Langdale dear. Whether you're a local, a business owner, a tourist, or a second homeowner, your contribution is a thread in the tapestry of Langdale's continuity. Together, we ensure that this valley, this sanctuary, remains a haven for generations to come.

Langdale's story is one of awe-inspiring landscapes, resilient spirits, and the unity of a community determined to shape its own destiny. With the birth of our CIC, we embark on a journey of empowerment, sustainability, and shared dreams. As Langdale's future unfolds, each of us plays a role in the symphony of its legacy.
