The Westway Development Trust was formed in the 1970s, to take on the challenge of regenerating and managing the land under the newly constructed A40 motorway as it cut through North Kensington. Nearly forty years on much of the land has been regenerated, but there is still plenty to do.

The community programme that we deliver has become the major focus for the charitable community in North Kensington, and the continuation of this programme is reliant on the Trust maintaining its enterprise. 

As well as being a pioneer of community ownership for major public assets (although many saw the land as a liability) the Trust was created to be a pioneer of social enterprise; to use its initiative to generate income in order to deliver a programme of community benefits to the residents of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea
