We are an independent, not for private profit social enterprise company, established and managed by local people with support from Solihull Council and other local voluntary and community organisations. Our business name is the North Solihull Community Development Trust Ltd. When the Trust began regular volunteers and the first Directors of the board decided that we should look for a new name. They put their thinking caps on and came up with the name The Colebridge Trust, which we now use as our trading name - 'Cole' because the River Cole runs straight through the middle of North Solihull and 'Bridge' because we feel that it represents our role in the community.

Community Development Trusts exist all over the country, to find out more about them visit www.dta.org.uk
