About the Land Trust
The Land Trust is unique, we believe, in its approach and operations. We are a ‘not for profit’ charity utilising public open space/green infrastructure as a positive asset to help create healthy, cohesive and resilient communities whilst delivering our charitable objectives.
Last year we were delighted to welcome c2.4 million visitors to our parks and green spaces, free of charge. We generated £19.4 million in Gross Value Added (GVA) to local economies through our portfolio, a 10% increase on the previous year. In 2023/24, we have changed our health impact with a greater focus on mental health activities, responding to increased anxiety and social isolation post-Covid (a 217% increase).
Our Trustee Board is looking forward to welcoming a new trustee, as we continue to grow and thrive in these challenging and exciting times.
