Castle Douglas Development Forum

Castle Douglas Development Forum (CDDF) is a registered charity and community development trust, promoting togetherness, support, and inclusivity within the community.  CDDF is run for and by the community, encouraging civic pride and community spirit. CDDF volunteers help to run the Heart of Galloway Visitor Centre, Castle Douglas Town Shop, Stepping Stones Food Bank and help write and deliver the Castle Douglas Journal.

CDDF is also involved in running the local Men’s Shed, and environmental action group EcoCD. These groups provide opportunities to build confidence and skills amongst the citizens of Castle Douglas so that the town can thrive, grow, and innovate.

Exploring the themes of movement and play, Martin Danziger and Kiera Manson have been collaborating with the Castle Douglas Development Forum on What We Do Now so far.


Castle Douglas is a founding members of the WWDN network – if you are interested in joining please contact us and sign up to the mailing list for future developments.
