Hull - Goodwin Development Trust launched the first Community Warden scheme in the UK, overseeing a 50% reduction in local crime.
Whatever the focus - green space development, managed workspace, education and training, childcare, and many more - you will find countless examples of best practice in our region, including the award-winning Manor and Castle Development Trust.
Co-ordinated by our regional staff, we also have a well-established network, and we believe in peer-learning among community enterprise practitioners. This exists at both a local and regional level.
Once or twice a year our “larger trusts” get together for a short residential to shared good practice and discuss the critical issues facing the sector.
And we hold regular network meetings for our increasing number of members - we are making significant progress towards the DTA aim of having a “Development Trust in every community that wants one”.
Heeley, Sheffield - Previously neglected open space, now a superbly maintained local asset in ownership for over 120 years thanks to Heeley Development Trust
