Our organisation
We are the leaders in community development strategy and delivery. We manage programmes that fund projects in our communities, carry out research into what works, and use that to improve policy and practice.
We work in partnership to strengthen local voices, help shape communities and change lives.
CDF’s vision is for an inclusive and just society.
CDF’s mission is to lead community development analysis and strategy, in order to enable people to influence decisions that affect their lives.
Working in partnership
CDF believes that a strong community sector is a united one. Partnership working is vital to our approach. These include partnerships with those in the community development field, the community sector, public sector membership bodies.
We also rely on the skills and expertise of our bank of associates who are involved in a number of our activities.
