Given the nature of its business, SRDS is associated with many web sites but those listed here lie close to the main mission.

bulletThe Director of SRDS is also the Convenor of the Caledonia Centre for Social Development which is an international charity providing a mechanism for grass roots information exchange in the broad area of social development. Separate websites deal with land reform, social land ownership, and common wealth.
bulletSRDS also works closely with Hakikazi Catalyst a Tanzanian Civil Society Organisation (CSO) concerned with social justice and  providing information, training and support to other CSOs.

bulletTraining of Trainers was built to support the programme designed for the Out of School Care Federation in the Highlands of Scotland - but the materials are of general applicability

Its Community Economic Development (CED) staff training programme draws on material originally prepared for training management advisors in Lesotho and has general applicability
bulletThe Essence of Faiths Website contains a set of short articles prepared for an independent newspaper in Lesotho. They give food for thought concerning the ultimate intentionality behind social development. The Begin website takes a deep look at the question, "Whose reality counts?"
