Membership Policy
Bristol Community Land Trust (Bristol CLT) is open to people who live or work in its area of benefit (defined as the “West of England comprising the four local authority areas around Bristol which comprise the former county of Avon” but the Bristol City Council area is the primary focus) who fall into one of three categories: 

1. “Resident”, those who have been or hope to be housed through the CLT
2. “Community”, anyone who wishes to support the CLT’s aims
3. “Stakeholder” bodies such as the city council or a supportive registered housing provider who contribute to it or individuals making a particular contribution

Those applying for membership (who can be individuals or corporate bodies) must
- confirm that they support the aims of Bristol CLT, as set out in the Governing Rules document
- advise under which category they wish their shareholding to be registered
- provide their name and address, and where available email and telephone contact details
pay £1 for their share

How to join
Membership of Bristol CLT requires the purchase of a share of the value of £1. 
To become a shareholding member, return this form along with a paypal receipt or cash/cheque for £1 by email to info@bristolclt.co.uk or by post to: Bristol CLT, c/o United Communities, 1st Floor, Eden House, 10 Eastgate Office Park, Eastgate Road, Eastville, Bristol, BS5 6XY.

As a Bristol CLT member you:
• Can stand to be a member of Bristol CLT’s Board which has up to 12 members
• Act as guardians of the objects of the Trust and promote its interests
• Agree to receive regular news, events information, invites to participate in member research, and ad-hoc newsflashes

In the summer of 2020,  Bristol CLT's members were asked to partake in a survey which served two purposes: 

  1. to help to shape the  future strategy, and underpin this with core Values, Principles, and a Mission
  2. to better understand the memberships' motives for becoming a member of BCLT, and how Bristol CLT can make its relationship with its members better reflect their needs

The feedback received was hugely valuable to the trustees and much of the insight gathered helped to shape the final Values, Principles, Mission and Strategy.

 

With the experience of our new CEO, Steve Dale, and aligned to the member endorsed strategy, Bristol CLT are now working on BCLT's membership development offer.
