OUR HISTORY
Cornelly Development Trust is a community based, regeneration organisation, working in a village whose livelihood had been dependent upon traditional patterns of industrial employment; a village that has faced and continues to endure major change. CADDT was created in 2005 by local people as a way of responding to social and economic deprivation within the area, issues that are as relevant today as they were 15 years ago. The organisation is currently registered as a company limited by guarantee 05505171 and a registered charity 1158680.
