Annual Reports
During 2023 we have seen many changes within the partnership, these have included a change in our Chair, new board members and new officers. Many of our projects during 2022 have now been completed and we have over 20 new projects to complete over 2023 and 2024. A new year, with new challenges that we're really excited about. David Harby is our new Chair, Rick and Helen are our new officers. We continue to grow as a partnership and engage with many more stations adoption groups and communities. The work planned over the coming year can be found in our latest report, linked below.
Officers Report 2023
2022 has been extremely successful for a number of reasons, with the introduction of our new team member Rick who has taken on the community reach outside of the CRP to the new site you are reading this on.
We have reached over ten communities ranging from more intimate projects to the ones that brought us together.
This could not have been achieved without all the amazing help we received from the local communities that have graciously hosted us. Not to mention the amazing partners that have provided us with the resources and guidance to thrive throughout 2022.
Amongst our other achievements, we were also lucky enough to take on Doncaster as another partner station, where we have been working with the team on new project ideas and new activities, which will include Rail safety awareness, considering installing planters and artwork across the many platforms.
