Proudly Serving Our Dundrum Community and Stimulating Economic Regeneration
About Dundrum Development Association
Welcome to the website of Dundrum Development Association, a community based regeneration organisation which exists to support the residents of this vibrant east Down village.
We do this in several ways, primarily by providing financial assistance to a myriad of local organisations including sports clubs, schools, youth clubs, voluntary organisations and charities to help them provide better facilities and experiences for local people.
Additionally, a key remit of Dundrum Development Association is to tackle dereliction in the village. There are some prominent sites within the village which are in real need of redevelopment or refurbishment and we are keen to see the transformation of these sites or a return to how they once looked.
The long-term aim of Dundrum Development Association is to stimulate economic regeneration while conserving the built heritage and protecting the environment within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Who we are
Dundrum Development Association (DDA) is a not-for-profit charity which was established to enhance the appearance of Dundrum Village and redevelop derelict sites.
What we do
The long-term aim is to stimulate economic regeneration while conserving the built heritage and protecting the environment within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
