GMDT Logo
Gracemount Mansion Development Trust (GMDT’s) vision is for The Mansion, Stable Blocks and surrounding grounds to be a welcoming hub in the heart of the community – a place where we can meet, learn and grow together towards a sustainable future.

Our mission is to develop and reopen The Mansion, surrounding buildings and greenspaces, as a community hub where we can offer a range of learning, training, volunteering, social, environmental and heritage opportunities and activities that benefit the mental and physical health & wellbeing of the community.

We are in the process of raising funds to conserve, renovate and develop the Mansion House and surrounding greenspaces, to enable GMDT to take on community ownership of the asset for the benefit of all.
