History of the DDT

Dunblane Development Trust (DDT) was established in 2003 as a membership-based community company with charitable status. Since then, we have steadily grown to provide a range of local services and activities based on priorities set by a succession of community consultation exercises.

All of this has been achieved through volunteer activity; support for which we have been able to procure external funding from a wide range of sources. Many successful projects have been carried out by our volunteer-led working groups:

• Dunblane in Bloom, Environment Group, Paths Team, DIY Group, Ebike Loan Scheme and Memory Café.
• Dementia Friendly Dunblane and Dunblane Community Support were incorporated into the Trusts activities in 2020
• Larger scale projects involve the Braeport Community Centre as well as the ‘Riverview’ building in the High Street; the latter housing a retail space and apartments that provide rental income to fund future activities.
