OUR PURPOSEIn a changing social and economic environment Camelot Country CIC is one among
many local organisations formed specifically to bring much needed
changes to our community.
OUR STRUCTUREThe CDCDT (Camelford and Delabole Community Development Trust) has changed its name to "Camelot Country" a Community Interest Company. The change better enables us to work to provide affordable housing for local people.
Two community-based regeneration associations, the Camelford Town Forum
and the Delabole Development Group provide the democratic basis for
Camelot Country. The Delabole Development Group was set up by community representatives
in 1999 to manage the outcomes from a community study. Its first task
was to undertake a comprehensive questionnaire aimed at identifying
key social, economic and environmental issues. Locally, the two community-based regeneration groups are made up of representatives from parish and town councils, the chamber of commerce, the youth forum, the Camelford Town Trust, public representatives, the North & East Cornwall Primary Care Partnership, SureStart, local education facilities and a range of single interest groups such as the football club. This highly representative grouping works in partnership to bring broad, local credibility to a wide range of ideas and initiatives. The body of information created by the two forums led them to join forces to create a development trust to implement and manage projects that would assist the community to overcome their identified problems. The Memorandum and Articles of the Trust are based on charitable principles and the organisation’s community enterprise approach ensures all its activities benefit the community in line with its constitutional objects. The CDCDT was incorporated at Companies House as a Company Limited by Guarantee in June 2001.
