About LASKCDT
Lenzie and South Kirkintilloch Community Development Trust (LASKCDT) was officially established in October 2017 as an entity to support active citizenship, contribute to civic renewal and to help people get involved and have a say about local services and issues.
We exist to benefit the whole of the community and our focus includes sustainable community development, environmental protection, the provision of housing and services in Lenzie and promoting and preserving our local culture, heritage and history.
About development trusts
Development trusts are community owned and led organisations, that work to combine community led action with an enterprising approach to address and tackle local needs and issues. Their aim is to create social, economic and environmental renewal in a defined geographical area, creating wealth within that area and keeping it there.
