2025 Community Land Trust Network AGM and awards ceremony

Event Date | November 22

Join us this Saturday 22nd November 2025 to celebrate the end of a successful year and to look ahead to the Network’s next steps. Our AGM will include official business, our seventh annual CLT Awards and opportunities to shape the future of the CLT Network.

This session will once again be taking place over Zoom. This decision is based on feedback and a desire to increase accessibility for more CLTs across England and Wales, supporting us to be a more inclusive and democratic movement.

Key documents will be sent out to all registrants and CLT Network members ahead of the AGM.

10 – 10:30am | Welcome, review of the year and AGM

An overview of the Community Land Trust Network’s progress in 24/25 and member voting on a range of matters.

We will issue an email at least 16 days before the AGM with a formal notice, including a full agenda, explanatory notes on voting methods (including proxy votes), using Zoom and the resolutions to be voted on, the Trustees’ Annual Report and Statement of Financial Activities for the year ending 31st March 2025, minutes of the 2024 CLT Network AGM.

10:30 – 10:35 am | Lobbying update

CLT Network CEO, Tom Chance, will give a progress update on our network’s advocacy efforts.

10:35-11:05am | CLT Awards

Our chance to celebrate the many CLT successes of the previous year and award a special handful of prestigious wooden geese! Each year we celebrate the fantastic achievements of CLTs across England and Wales, with a special few being awarded a prestigious goose!

Geese…? Our awards have been inspired by the well-known ‘V’ formation that geese fly in. The goose at the front takes the lead, while others follow in their slipstream to save energy. When the leading goose gets tired it drops back and another takes its place. In this way, every goose is a leader at some point in their long, arduous migrations. CLTs do the same!

Remember to nominate some CLT heroes by Thursday 23rd October at 11:59pm.  Find out more about the CLT Awards here – many awards are open to CLTs or individuals no matter where your CLT is in its journey so get nominating today!

11.05 – 11:10am | Comfort break
