    On behalf of Sherford Community Land Trust

At the heart of the Trust is the Community Panel – a group of resident volunteers shaping the Trust’s development and supporting its activities through working groups. In late 2025, the Trust will begin the process of electing its first two Community Directors. Eventually, once all the neighbourhoods are complete, the board will include eight Community Directors, meaning principal control will lie with the people who live and work in Sherford. 

SCLT currently employs one staff member, Coordinator Judy Talbot, who is supported by the Real Ideas Organisation. Real Ideas are working with the Trust to set-up, establish and help get the organisation going.
