The Cresset

The Cresset was opened by HRH the Queen in 1978 and funded by Peterborough Development Corporation. We are a registered charity with a commercial trading company which covenants its profits back to the charity annually to help maintain the facilities. The charity serves as a resource centre housing partner organisations who run services from our site -2 miles west of the City Centre.
