Debbie from the ADT Committee here - this weekend I'm attending the @edencommunities#communitycamp at the stunning Eden Project in Cornwall. I hope to meet lots of interesting people, and get inspired to bring back amazing ideas for our community. Stay tuned for pics and more!
Next up, a seminar from @CoigachCDC on their experience of asset transfer. This should be really interesting and very relevant to the future plans of ADT, so I'm looking forward to hearing all their stories! #dtas19
Fantastic presentation from @CoigachCDC on their journey... they provide an excellent example for other rural DTs to follow in terms of being proactive with opportunities in their community. Cant waitnl to make a wee visit up there! #DTAS19
Next up, a presentation by @TNLComFundScot on Funding Local Assets. Expect this one will be very well attended, can't wait to hear what they've got in store for us #DTAS19
“We need to reclaim the core spirit of municipal leadership...local activism is a part of that” Robin Tuddenham talking about a values-based vision for Calderdale. We have to embrace risk to grow resilience and well being in our communities #dtas19
By the look of the smiling faces in this picture, it's fair to say that yesterday's #DTAS19 conference study visit to the Cochrane Hall was a success 🤗 thanks to all who came and to ADT volunteers for doing us proud as always ⭐
@AlisonEvison of @COSLA explains that local govt and national govt must be equal partners - not tiers - in the governance of Scotland. Parity of esteem. Hear, hear to that. Will this extend to community sector bodies such as DTs? #DTAS19
Improved relationships and communication between development trusts and local governments is vital to ensure everyone's ongoing success and effectiveness #DTAS19
Councillor Alison Edison President of @COSLA addressing the plenary debate on improving relationships between local government and community development trusts. LG needs to listen to and act upon the voice of communities.
.@robintuddenham discussing @Calderdale “Community Anchor Policy” ... would be fantastic to see local authorities in Scotland following this example #DTAS19
