Our new online CLT training programme offers actionable support and insights for CLTs to better establish, develop and operate.
Alongside a small cohort of other CLTs, trainees will gain a strong foundation of practical knowledge. This programme will explore the larger landscape of the community land trust movement, case studies from established groups, and real life fundraising, operations and community engagement essentials for CLTs.

Who is it for?
This programme is for Community Land Trust Network members who are involved in the management and administration of a community land trust. These sessions are suitable for people with no prior experience or for anyone looking to fill gaps in their knowledge.
Trainees might be:
- members of the founding board for a newly formed CLT
- new board members of an existing CLT
- people who have been involved in the management of a CLT for some time who are now seeking to improve their skills and knowledge
Ideally two people from each CLT will join the training sessions.
How does it work?
Our training programme is made up of two interactive modules.
Trainees can enrol into either or both sessions.
Each module consists of:
- Pre-workshop preparation
- An interactive online workshop
- A reading and resource list for follow up study
These sessions will embed trainees within a cohort of CLTs who will serve as a network of mutual support and advice.
We will be regularly running all the modules of the training programme throughout the year.
