Gasyard Development Trust

The Gasyard Development Trust was set up in 1996 to construct a Neighbourhood Cultural Centre. Completion in 2001 enabled the Trust to provide a wide range of services both directly and indirectly for the community in the Bogside, Brandywell and surrounding areas. In-house projects, Bluebell Arts Project and the Children’s Centre deliver much-needed programmes and services to the local community. GDT as a project has a mix of roles – project deliverer, landlord, and facilities provider. The organisation helps to promote, in a strategic way, community and economic regeneration in partnership with other local groups, local schools and the private and statutory sectors.
