The purpose of Ilfracombe Community Land Trust is to create affordable, secure homes for local people to rent with confidence. These become locally owned assets that can serve the Ilfracombe community for good.

We are a community-led group composed of local individuals.

In contrast to a property developer a Community Land Trust is a non-profit organisation run by local people to benefit the community they are part of.
