SPRING WREATH MAKING this March
We are a registered charity set up by a growing group of local people interested in supporting community development activity across Black Mount. We hope to realise some of the wants and needs you shared in the survey.
We are an enthusiastic, community-loving group of volunteers and would be thrilled to hear from anyone interested in supporting our local area. We look forward to welcoming you to the development trust team!
Treat yourself or someone special this March to making a beautiful living spring bulb wreath.
For £35, enjoy a relaxed, creative workshop and take home a wreath that can be replanted and enjoyed again. All proceeds support community events across Black Mount.

We know from the community survey that speeding and road safety were huge concerns across all of Black Mount.
We are actively recruiting volunteers to help us gather speed data using a handheld speed detector.
Let us know if you can volunteer to help gather data on your roads/villages.
Join us at Dolphinton Hall 6.30-8pm on Friday 28th November to celebrate 6months as a charity, hear about what we have achieved, find out what's next and help us shape 2026 to your wants and needs.
The evening will include a short quiz by the brilliant Kev Buchan too.
