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 20 years ago.   The organisation is currently registered as a company limited by guarantee 05505171 and a registered charity 1158680. 

OUR CURRENT OBJECTIVES


  • Fundraising to support ongoing projects
  • Developing our membership
  • Serving the local community with food via our Pantry Scheme
  • Helping families to weather the current cost of living crisis
  • Improving our environmental impact
  • Reviewing our range of activities
  • Increasing awareness of our services throughout the area
  • Creating a social enterprise that allows for training, volunteering and ultimately employment of local people.


OUR VISION


We aim to alleviate poverty through the creation of social, economic, environmental and cultural activities that lead to local training, volunteering and employment opportunities, as part of a prosperous, healthy and skilled community.
