The Community Development Foundation works with other individuals and organisations in the UK and internationally. In response to the different policy environments in the devolved administrations, in 2009 CDF supported its Scotland office, the Scottish Community Development Centre www.scdc.org.uk towards becoming an independent social enterprise. In 2011 the Wales office closed, having worked in partnership with a number of organisations to maintain a strong community development presence in the country www.cdcymru.org.

CDF continues to work with partners in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland on community development policy and practice when opportunities for collaboration arise.
