Call for more volunteers to aid emergency services on night-time streets
Neil Smith
South Cumbria journalist, BBC Cumbria
Cumbria's emergency services are extending the use of volunteers to ease the burden of night time revellers.
Street AngelsCopyright: Street Angels
New figures show the night time economy accounts for half of all calls to the police on some town centre streets; in Barrow, where a new scheme's being set up, almost all these incidents are in the early hours of Saturday and Sunday mornings.
The project is recruiting "Street Angels", similar to the Street Pastors who patrol in Carlisle's main streets and Whitehaven, but those taking part do not have to be Christians.
They'll offer help to people who are distressed, the worse for wear, or simply need a pair of flip-flops to walk home because they're too drunk to manage in the high heels they set out in.
Nurses and other medical staff in Cumbria's hospitals have been in pyjamas rather than uniforms today, as part of a campaign to encourage patients not to spend too long in bed.
It is thought some patients become bed-ridden simply because they don't get mobile as soon as possible after treatment.
Listen: Tragic family raises funds for suicide charities
BBC Radio Cumbria
The family of a Brampton woman who took her own life has been describing how it wants to help other families experiencing the same heartache.
Eden Finney was just 19 at the time of her death last June.
A number of fundraising events - including a Butterfly Ball this summer - are taking place to raise money for charities such as Mind and Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide, also known as SOBS.
John Brown, from the Carlisle branch of SOBS, told BBC Radio Cumbria that it can be extremely difficult for families to come to terms with loss through suicide.
It'll be sunny but with a keen northeasterly breeze. In shelter, it will feel warm with temperatures rising to 15C (59F).
