We like to be involved with projects that reflect our own core beliefs. That's why we enjoy working for the education and community sectors, and many of our projects have environmental angles.

Many local community projects have little or no funds for their own promotions or information design, but really need them. Each year, we allocate a proportion of our profits to support such local community projects with our design work.

One of these is Falmouth Classics, a local traditional boating event and race held each year in August, which we have sponsored with information graphics and posters for nearly 20 years.

Another is Falmouth School, the local state comprehensive, which we have supported with design consultation and services as well as student projects for the last 7 years.

We also take on placement students for work experience, both from secondery schools and university.

In turn, CTD has benefited from European funding for graduate student employees, which has helped us train new designers while they earn a decent income.
