The Development Trusts Association

The aim of the Development Trusts Association (DTA) is a successful development trust in every community that wants one. There are over 50 development trusts in Yorkshire and the Humber, and over 300 across the UK as a whole, all community owned and led. They cultivate enterprise and build assets. They secure community prosperity - creating wealth in communities and keeping it there.

The primary work of the DTA is the promotion and exchange of practitioner skills and experience. We also join with others to attract investment and support for the community enterprise movement.

The DTA promotes the work of development trusts, advocates on their behalf by commenting on and contributing to public policy developments, briefing and lobbying central and local government, and liaising with a wide range of organisations at regional, national and European level.
