The City Fringe Partnership (CFP) is an economic development and regeneration partnership, set up to increase economic growth and social inclusion in the area to the north and east of the City of London, which includes some of the most deprived communities in the country.
Established in 1996, we are funded by, and work in partnership with, the City of London and the London Boroughs of Camden , Hackney, Islington and Tower Hamlets, as well as the London Development Agency.
Our principal aims are to encourage small and medium-sized business growth and to develop employment opportunities in specific strategic industries located within the City Fringe itself.
We are delivering a best practice model of enterprise support and workforce training by enabling local businesses to define the investment plans that will increase the competitiveness of their sectors and ensuring that local people benefit from that investment.
Since its inception the CFP has helped the London Development Agency invest some £25 million of funding to support businesses and residents in the area. Piloting the City Growth approach in the UK for the last four years, it now has programmes in many of the City Fringe's key sectors – notably print & publishing, jewellery and furniture & product design as well as health & social care, the visitor economy and fashion.
The Partnership’s activities in the area were recently recognised when it won the Enterprising London award 2006.
The CFP Board represents the private and public sectors and oversees the Partnership's strategic direction and programmes.
