About Us

Granby Toxteth Development Trust is the Community Anchor Organisation for the Toxteth neighbourhood and since our incorporation in 1994 our main aim has been to help improve the social and economic well-being of local residents and businesses and the wider Liverpool and Merseyside communities. We are independent, local and charitable.

GTDT is:

· A focus for services and activities meeting local need

· A vehicle for local voices to be heard, needs to be identified and for local leaders and community groups to be supported

· A platform for community development, promoting cohesion whilst respecting diversity

· A home for the community sector which is supportive of the growth and development of community groups

· A means of promoting community led enterprise, generating independent income whilst having a social, economic and environmental impact

· A forum for dialogue within communities, creating community led solutions

· A bridge between communities and the state which promotes and drives social change

· A building, a physical space

We currently employ over 18 people working in a variety of roles including dedicated project officers, Roma community development workers and detached youth workers, in addition to a bank of sessional workers and tutors and our valuable pool of volunteers.

We promote the diversity of our work through our website (www.gtdt.co.uk).
