Our name The Croft@Crook CIC is a deliberate nod to a powerful tradition. A Croft is a small piece of land attached to a dwelling and a Crofter, the tenant or owner who cultivates it. Acting as a custodian of their small corner of the world. The Croft@Crook CIC believes our entire community are Crofters and Crook our Croft.

WE SERVE THE COMMUNITY OF CROOK
To identify, engage and empower local stakeholders.
We identify and empower local people to achieve positive outcomes in three key areas:
Our CROFT Pop-Up Hubs are field hospitals that we parachute into target districts to perform triage.
Triage: Our unique liquidic model of solutions provision means we can be dispatched tactically. We are flexible to swiftly respond to social and community need.
Facilitation: Our Pop-Up Hub creates a new unprejudiced space within which to listen. It is a place to hear the community and deliver immediately required services.
Partnership: Working in partnership with DCC means TC@C can match evidence based need with community based solutions.
Reversing negative trends and empowering residents.
Moving from consultation to construction.
Restoring Common Ground. We are revitalizing the physical heart of our shared spaces to cultivate a unified field of play.
A Legacy Cast in Iron. A permanent artistic intervention celebrating our town's global footprint and local excellence.
The Digital Nervous System. Bridging the gap between isolation and access by establishing essential infrastructure.
