Newtongrange Development Trust (NDT) exists to build on the strong community spirit in Newtongrange. It grew out of 'Newtongrange Resilience Volunteers' which was established in early 2020 as a community response to the COVID pandemic. In late 2020 NDT was formally set up as a community development trust for Newtongrange village.
NDT's mission is to:
· Provide a focal point for our Newtongrange community.
· Respond to economic, social, environmental and cultural needs.
· Create and respond to opportunities that become available to the community.
· Work in partnership with likeminded organisations for the benefit of Newtongrange
· Listen to local residents and give our community a voice.
· Develop community facilities and projects that impact on the quality of life for residents in Newtongrange.
· Provide support to local community groups as necessary.
· Lead initiatives that aspire to bring economic growth along with increased volunteering and employment opportunities to Newtongrange.
