Whitley Bay Development Trust is led by Whitley Bay people, with the aim to increase prosperity in our town.  Our sole focus is on the regeneration of the town, in the interests of the people who live and work here. We are working to acquire empty and disused buildings in the town, and bring them back to life

We are an ethical investment co-operative.  We lend money to fair trade businesses in the developing world. Our role in the fair trade movement is crucial, but we couldn't do it without our supporters.
