About Crawford House
A long-standing anchor institution dedicated to improving the lives of people in Granby, Toxteth, and wider Liverpool.
From Military Barracks to Community Hub
The Crawford House site on Gwent Street holds rich historical significance in Toxteth. Originally built as a military barracks, the premises later served as a Liverpool fire station before being reclaimed and transformed into a thriving Community Enterprise Centre.
Since 1995, Crawford House Community Partnership has utilized this multi-functional building to host educational classrooms, computer laboratories, a welcoming community café, venue halls, and incubation space for local enterprises and charities.

Crawford House Community Partnership was established under legal charity status to fulfill the following core purposes:
