That's where we come in . . .

Our three communities in the rural South Downs have come together and created a Community Land Trust . . . 

image2061

. . . the Stedham, Trotton and Rogate Together - or START -Community Trust

. . .  in order to provide low-cost housing (and other community facilities) that can be reserved for people with a local connection or an essential occupation - the detailed allocation policy will be approved by the full membership.

We received our FCA incorporation on 5th April 2019 as 

community benefit society (number 8087), 

and that's what we aim to be!

But that's just our legal form -

our mission is to be a community land trust . . .
