Open wide the gates: Applications open to new national fund for urban Community Land Trusts The National CLT Network has launched the bidding process to the Urban CLT Project. This is a brand new programme of funding, training, resources and advocacy to launch the scaling up of the emerging urban Community Land Trust (CLT) movement in England and Wales. Urban communities of all characters are invited to take part. The National CLT Network is offering 20 demonstration urban CLTs grants of up to £10,000 to help them develop their projects. In addition, urban CLTs will be invited to take part in a two year programme of events and training, online peer networking and resource-banking to build up the know-how for success. Behind the scenes, the Network will be taking the lessons from the demonstration CLTs to campaign and lobby for the issues common to urban CLTs. Funding will be available to address costs such as legal fees, support with political negotiations and finding a development partner, community engagement and business planning. Applications to this year’s grants programme are open until midnight on Sunday 7 September. For more information about the programme and to apply, visit the Urban CLT Project website: https://sites.google/a/communitylandtrusts.org.uk/urban-project/home or the National CLT Network site, communitylandtrusts.org.uk.

Notes to editors: The Urban CLT Project has been funded by the Oak Foundation and will run for 2 years, with 10 urban CLTs being selected to the programme each year. Applications are welcome from across the country and from groups at all stages of development.
