We are the North Lancashire Community Land Trust
                   Contributing to a better built and natural environment


What is our purpose?

Our chief purpose is to make land and buildings available to the local community for affordable housing, work places, leisure, training, educational and community development purposes.
We have been more successful in obtaining land, and are currently negotiating the purchase of some woodland on the edge of Lancaster. Once bought, it will protected in perpetuity for the benefit of local residents and wildlife.

What are Our Values?

We are motivated by principles of sustainability and fairness and take our inspiration from several sources:

Get involved

We work in partnership with local residents, voluntary organisations, city and county councils, community groups and local businesses.
With our expertise in land and buildings, we may be able to help realise your ideas for change and improvement.

What is a Community Land Trust?

A Community Land Trust or CLT is a non-profit, community based organisation that works to develop and steward affordable housing, community gardens, civic buildings, commercial spaces and other community assets on behalf of a community.

Special Places
Wherever you live, it will be a special place to someone. Some places have national recognition; others are just known to a few local residents. Many are home to wildlife and important to them.



In 2018 we took a lease on a 2-acre piece of derelict land owned by the NHS, and have transformed it into a well-managed community orchard. De Vitre Community Garden is now well established and is well used by local residents.
