Car sharing (www.cumbriaunicarshare.com)

Cumbriaunicarshare.com can help you find people to share your car, bike or walking journey. The site is operated on behalf of the university by liftshare.com ltd. 

As a student you can use it to offer or find lifts for journeys to university, placements or elsewhere. 

You should register as part of the university student group. When you're entering details of a lift you can choose to open this up to the general public (liftshare.com has about 400,000 users in the UK), but otherwise your details will stay within the university student group. 

Registration within the university group is only available to people with email addresses that end @cumbria.ac.uk or @uni.cumbria.ac.uk.

If you're concerned about safety and security, please read the specific guidance available on the website.

The site can also help to find 'buddies' for people who walk or cycle to university - if you would like to find someone to walk or cycle with, register with the site and have a look.
