The Drigg & Carleton Community Fund uses the money annually for items such as Village Maintenance and for annual village events such as Drigg Gala, the Tuesday Chat Summer Outing (see Photos in the Reports & Feedback section), the Children’s Christmas Party and the Fireworks.

There have also been some large projects funded. The beach car park and entrance area have been worked on and tidied up, with new benches placed.  The Drigg Public Rights of Way (PRoW) Project is an ongoing project with the aim of improving and repairing the PRoW network throughout the parish.
