ABOUT THE LAND TRUST
The Land Trust is a Registered Charity based in Warrington and operating nationally. We are leading the way in establishing new, sustainable solutions for the management of open space, on behalf of, and in partnership with, local communities. We are responsible for the management of around 80 sites (2400 hectares of land) around the UK, including urban parks, designated nature reserves and listed buildings. We work with local partners, such as Groundwork, the Wildlife Trusts and The Conservation Volunteers, to manage sites on the ground and engage with communities.
We help a wide range of public and private landowners: including large sale landowners, housing developers, landfill operators, local authorities and mining companies, who, for a variety of reasons, want to pass on responsibility (or liability) for the management of sites, public open space or new green infrastructure to find bespoke long-term funding and, management solutions for land. These can include service charges, section 106 or endowment, or a hybrid of funding sources. Our current endowment portfolio of approx. £180m provides financial resources to ensure that our endowed sites are managed to a good standard and contribute to the wellbeing of the communities by which they are surrounded.
Our primary aim is the successful delivery of our five charitable objectives: environment and biodiversity; community cohesion and volunteering; health and wellbeing; education and training; and economic benefits.
