Renton Community Development Trust

How We Started

The Trust was established in response to local demand to explore opportunities for improving the development and governance of the community.

What We Do

We will work with individuals or groups in Renton from personal development to major investment in our community we will link existing housing, economic and social investments so that in the future Renton will have assets to manage and income to invest making our community less dependant on government intervention or aid.

Our Future Plans

RCDT recently set up three trading subsidiaries working in the care, education and catering fields. As a result of theses changes RCDT are the senior charitable organisation who will oversea the running of these three companies who employ 28 members of staff.  These companies will trade for profit and donate any and all profits to RCDT, who will identify assets and causes they feel suitable to invest in. The most recent of which is a former early education building in Renton which has been deemed surplus to requirement by the local council, RCDT have opened talks with the council to purchase and re-open this facility increasing its provision to include early morning, evening and weekend services.
