Communities

Cross River Partnership (CRP) is putting communities at the heart of everything that it does.

This means co-designing, co-delivering and co-evaluating all of our projects. Sometimes this is with residents, sometimes with businesses, sometimes visitors, sometimes all three. In this way, we maximise the benefits achieved, together.
