How we work

Woodlands Community Development Trust runs spaces, programmes and events that support a wide range of local residents. All our initiatives are shaped by our values and designed to integrate social wellbeing with the environment.

 For example, we build social connections through transforming local spaces, such as our community garden and lane clean-ups. We reduce social isolation and hardship by building knowledge, skills and confidence including through events held at our meeting room and events terrace. Working alongside local residents, we empower people to take action.
