Development Trusts Association Scotland (DTAS) was established in 2003 to take forward the development trust movement and support communities across Scotland. Development Trusts are place-based, community-led and community-owned enterprises. They demonstrate that positive change can be achieved through local control and ownership, regenerating local areas through asset ownership, social enterprise and community empowerment. We have 350 development trust members across rural, island and urban Scotland, as well as over 40 aspiring members. Our dedicated development officer team provides guidance, training, expert help, access to funding and networking opportunities that help our members to navigate challenges, share good practice and influence national and local policy. Our Community Ownership Support Service help community organisations to navigate the asset transfer process. Our Democratic Finance team have supported the raising of £20 million in community shares.
Beneficiaries: 'No specific group, or for the benefit of the community','Other charities or voluntary bodies'
Objectives: 4.1 To improve the efficiency and effectiveness of organisations known as development trusts, in direct pursuit of their objects in such a manner as may be thought fit 4.2 To promote the purpose and benefits of development trusts and advance education of the public in the work of development trusts and similar organisations
