Your On-line Community Resource

Riversmeet is working to secure the future well-being of the community of Cockermouth and its rural catchment area.

The content of this site is created and edited by local citizens and all those with an interest or involvement in our community, to help us all to share ideas, information and resources.

As well as a growing network of active citizens, this includes local people who may have moved away, young people who may hope to return and people and communities with whom the town has cultural links.

The Riversmeet Network

Riversmeet aims to be a catalyst to positive change towards a more creative, cooperative and sustainable society, by supporting personal and collective initiative within Town's immediate Bio-Region.

We believe that many solutions to global problems can be delivered by local communities and that creating new ways of living and working, within the limits of the Earth's resources, is the responsibility of local people.

By bringing people together to invest personal energy in assuring the viability and well-being of their local neighbourhoods we will optimise local capability and be a catalyst to civic renewal and community sustainability.
