The staff at Cranhill Development Trust are always so helpful. They have put me in touch with all the right people, and access to services I didn't even know were available.  I was worried when the Post Office closed in Cranhill, so it's great to see that CDT has opened a local Post Office for the community. I use the community shop to top up my gas and electricity, and to buy my fresh fruit and veg. During lockdown, CDT sent Arts and Crafts supplies to the house so that the kids could still take part in the family programme, and made zoom calls to see if we needed any support. I believe they have gone above and beyond to help me.

Cranhill Development Trust truly is the beating heart of our community.  Not only is it a place for people to learn, meet and eat but it’s a place for locals to come together and make Cranhill a better place to live, work and grow-up.  I am incredibly proud, not only to be from Cranhill, but count CDT as one of the most amazing organisations doing work in my constituency.

Volunteering at Cranhill Development Trust has given me a sense of accomplishment I have never felt before. I feel integrated with the local community and get respect and care from others.
