Advice for establishing and developing community land trusts
We can help you establish a community land trust and develop housing and other assets for the benefit of your community.
We have our own model rules for a community benefit society, which can be adapted for use by community land trusts ("CLTs") and are particularly suitable for those looking to raise finance via a community share issue.
Our community land trusts clients include:
- Town councils and parish councils
- Oxfordshire Community Land Trust, Oxford
- Leeds Community Homes, Leeds
- Yorspace, York
- Brighton and Hove Community Land Trust, Brighton
- Tipi Valley CLT, Wales
- Hay Habitat Limited, Manchester
We offer all new community-led housing groups a free initial meeting or telephone call, to help get you started. Please get in touch with our community-led housing team to arrange this.
