Thanet Community Development Trust (TCDT) is a Charity and a Company Limited by Guarantee based in Thanet. Its primary purpose is to develop and support economic, social and environmental regeneration within the district.
This work is achieved by working with local communities (however defined), statutory and public bodies, the private sector and concerned and interested individuals. It usually focuses its work on identified areas of deprivation and disadvantaged communities.
TCDT is managed by Trustees and operates as an entirely independent entity (it does not currently receive any grants for its own core funding). It derives all its income from social enterprises and management fees. It is recognised as a leader in the field of community development work and for its work in creating and managing successful and sustainable social enterprises.
TCDT works with community groups, helping and supporting them to turn ideas into funded and sustainable projects. It also provides advice and training from bid writing, finance and other management skills to event organisation and meetings procedures.
