Amble is situated on the north east coast of Northumberland. Amble Development Trust is a charity charged with the regeneration of the town through both infrastructure and community development.

The organisation was set up in 1994 in response to a Civic Trust Regeneration Study and has since then completed major physical improvement projects including: rebuild of the South Pier (now a tourist attraction), refurbishment of Queen Street – main thoroughfare, creation of a Town square, rebuild of derelict building and refurb of a former public house, amongst others.

Our attitude to community development is, hopefully, enterprising. We offer employment counselling, have developed a community newspaper, an interactive digital tourism game – Amble GPX, run a community shop which supports local producers, offer office accommodation to local businesses and organise community events. Our projects are all run on a social enterprise basis – any profits are reinvested for community benefit.

The Trust now operates with an administrative staffing level of 3 plus 2 production staff in our preserve making enterprise.

Since inception ADT has attracted in excess of £10m inward investment for the town.

In 2012 we launched a new regeneration strategy Amble 2020, which outlines plans to aid future regeneration and sustainability for our businesses, fishing and tourism sectors.
