The Clevedon and District Community Land Trust Limited (the Society) is a ‘not for personal profit’ Community Benefit Society set up to maintain and/or improve the physical, social and economic infrastructure within the district of Clevedon and surrounding areas. Our primary aim initially is to provide affordable housing on either a rental or shared ownership basis for people with a strong
local connection.
​
​We also wished to provide an opportunity for public-spirited people and organisations to contribute to the community through becoming members and shareholders of the Trust. Our goals are
long-term and community led.

If you would like to become a member of the Society, you can do so for just £1 by purchasing one ordinary share. This will give you one vote and, no matter how many shares you may purchase, you will always have only one vote (one member one vote in line with co-operative principles). Membership of the Society does not confer the member with any preferential advantage but as a member of the Society you will be able to vote at any open meeting of the Society to support the aims of the Society.

Members can acquire more than the minimum £1 share now or in the future. We hope to have other projects that will need money as well as time and enthusiasm. At such times we may seek further capital through shares, noting that the maximum shareholding for any one person or organisation is £1,000. The Society will pay no dividend to investors because any surpluses will be reinvested for the benefit of our community; and shares will never be worth more than you paid for them and could be reduced in value.  Members cannot sell or otherwise dispose of their shares to anyone else (see transfers of shares – Rules section B13) but may ask to withdraw their shareholding in the Society. However, this would be possible only if the Society has sufficient funds available at the time of asking.

If you would like further information please read the Rules, which are the Society’s governing document. Please email us to request a copy of the Rules or see the Financial Conduct Authority website at mutuals.fca.org.uk/Search/Society/ then enter no 8787.
