Welcome to DTA SE!

There are members of the Development Trusts Association throughout the region, from Oxford to Thanet.

Membership in the south east is growing rapidly – with many more community organisations in the pre-application stage. Currently our 13 full members turnover more than £2m p.a. and have the full-time equivalent of 100 + employees.

DTA staff in the south east support existing and emerging development trusts, as well as informing and supporting community and social enterprise development throughout our sector. Networking, training and mentoring are our strengths.

DTA SE works in partnership regionally, sub regionally as well as locally. We work hard to provide our members with a voice in regional agencies as well as providing the voice of community enterprise to those involved in strategic work with both the regional development agency and with regional government office.

DTA SE also works in partnership with Social Firms South East, the Co-op movement and UnLtd to deliver training and other support.
