ABOUT US

CPC was developed from Carlisle Nightstop, which was started by “Carlisle Churches Together” in 1997 from a deep concern for vulnerable and often disadvantaged young people who, not coping very well with life, can become homeless or who are feeling desperate.

The organisation gained charitable status in 1998. Affiliated to Nightstop UK, CPC is managed by Trustees and became a limited company in April 2004.
