About Bristol CLT

Bristol Community Land Trust (BCLT) builds affordable, sustainable, homes and inclusive, resilient communities.


We do this by acquiring and developing land ourselves, but also by working in partnership with other groups and organisations to bring land into community ownership.

Our Board of Trustees

We see big potential across the region, and care deeply about what we do every day. Our proposition ensures that we are leading the debate on affordable, sustainable community development and both our leadership team and staff has the experience, energy & enthusiasm to make things happen.

What is a Community Land Trust?  

Community Land Trusts (CLTs) are a form of community-led housing, set up and run by ordinary people to develop and manage homes as well as other assets important to that community, like community enterprises, food growing or workspaces. CLTs act as long-term stewards of housing, ensuring that it remains genuinely affordable, based on what people actually earn in their area, not just for now but for every future occupier.
