Welcome to the Portland Community Partnership

The Portland Community Partnership (PCP) was formed to carry on the good work of the Single Regeneration Budget (SRB) following the loss of the Navy in the late 90s. The SRB on Portland was so successful because it was made up and delivered by a wide variety of partners including statutory and voluntary agencies, as well as members of the public. This ethos has been carried on by the PCP.

The Partnership was formally constituted in 2001 as an unincorporated not for profit organisation. In 2018 following approval by members the partnership became formally incorporated with a Board of Directors with limited liability shareholding. See our Projects page for information on our activities.
