Gratitude from Our Community Members
Explore the transformative power of our initiatives through genuine stories from those we’ve helped.
As a not-for-profit organisation, KDT adds £3.7M of social, economic and environmental impact to the local community.
In an area like Knowsley, which has been dogged by social and economic decline since the 1980s, that impact should not be underestimated.
It delivers sustainable jobs, services for many vulnerable groups in the community and, crucially, serves as a much-needed beacon of hope.
