About the CFPI
Our mission
The Centre for Public Infrastructure (CFPI) started life as a campaign group calling for changes to how our communities are designed. Today, the CFPI is a Social Enterprise committed to promoting robust civic infrastructure. Through research, advocacy, and our roots of public engagement, the CFPI works towards creating sustainable and inclusive communities across the UK.
Infrastructure has suffered from funding concerns amongst central and local authorities, a lack of political will, and the absence of community engagement. The CFPI is working to reverse that trend.
Our team
CFPI advocates include our staff team, and our brilliant network of volunteers.
Volunteers
Campaigners make our work possible. Many have been there with us from the start. Perhaps you are an individual with particular health needs suffering from the decline of public toilet provision, or a business operator struggling to encourage footfall due to unappealing public space, join our activist network.
Staff
Our staff team boasts experience throughout public and government affairs on behalf of private and third sector advocacy groups. CFPI staff have worked in local government for large combined authorities, for political parties, and in both Houses of Parliament.
The CFPI values honesty and frank feedback, and work collaboratively and creatively to identify new ways to advocate for our network. The CFPI is an equal opportunities employer. We value diversity and building a team that represents a range of backgrounds and perspectives. The more inclusive we are, the better our work will be.
