da21 is an independent charity. We work cooperatively with local people, communities, businesses, educational bodies, local government and other organisations to encourage sustainable living in Dorset. (Charity Number : 1102528, Company Number: 4988176). We currently have 8 trustees on our board and 4 members of Staff .

We do this by: (1) Raising public awareness and understanding about sustainability (2) Support or initiate projects which demonstrate sustainability (3) Influence decision makers to take sustainability into account throughout their decision making
