As a Community Land Trust (CLT), and Exempt Charity, we are a not-for-profit, co-operative, member-run organisation. We are dedicated to providing affordable housing and other benefits for the local community. Our advantage is that, unlike Housing Associations, we are not subject to ‘right to buy’. Therefore, we can preserve affordable homes, prioritising local people, long term. In addition, we manage local public open space for community access, recreation and biodiversity.
We are part of the growing Community-Led Housing movement, in which local people play a leading and lasting role in solving housing problems. This creates genuinely affordable homes and strong communities in ways that are difficult to achieve through mainstream housing.
Members make the decisions about what happens in our community and help design how they will look and feel.
