To have and to hold

A guide to asset development for community organisations, social enterprises, and Local Authorities.

This guide provides a detailed overview of the process of asset acquisition, development and management. It was published by the Development Trusts Association in 2010 and remains a key resource. Some legal requirements, potential funding sources, etc. have changed since 2010, so it is essential to check for changes and updates.

Further information on the different aspects of community ownership and management of assets can be found in the Assets Hub.
