Based on your answers, your organisation is not currently using the development trust approach. If your organisation aspires towards meeting these criteria DTAS can offer you support before you apply for DTAS Membership. Contact membership@dtascot.org.uk for more details. Otherwise, we recommend you seek advice from an alternative third sector support organisation such as your local Third Sector Interface.
