Welcome to the Finchley Community
Development Trust Website

Our aim is to promote the interests of the community
of East Finchley by the provision of premises, land,
resources, services and facilities which encourage
the development of social, economic, environmental,
educational, recreational, leisure, sporting and
cultural activities.

The Trust has one member of staff, a development
worker and a group of around 50-60 volunteers.

The Development Trust responds to local
needs and recognises that to regenerate a
community involves adopting both a
comprehensive approach and involvement
in a wide range of activities.
