Churches Together in Cumbria works in partnership with the Probation Service in Cumbria through the Cumbria Reducing Offending Partnership (CROP). 

The Probation Service are very keen to use their unpaid work teams to help churches. They appreciate the way many church members and clergy who benefit in this way in their turn give time to talk to the offenders on the teams and show an interest in them and appreciation for the work they are doing.
