Denby Dale Parish Environmental Trust began in 1997 as an advisory group to the Denby Dale Parish Council. It soon developed to become a registered charity in its own right, with the broad aim of protecting and enhancing the local environment, and to help encourage and facilitate local people to play an active part in this.
 
The trust raises and distributes funding for environmental projects, supports local activity groups and encourages volunteers to learn new skills and share expertise.

The trust has a broad membership including representatives of local activity groups, schools, businesses and enthusiastic individuals.  Evening meetings are held every 2 months at Skelmanthorpe Council chambers, for members, trustees and guests to consider grant applications, arrange visits, information sessions and listen to presentations from guest speakers.
