Gorebridge Community Development Trust manages various short and long term projects that support the community in Gorebridge. Projects are delivered by our own staff team augmented by volunteers from our 250 member database. The Trust’s facilities at Number 58 and The Brown Building Community Centre provide a base from where our partners and user groups are able to deliver their own services to the community.
