Caistor and District Community Trust Ltd
Caistor and District Community Trust Ltd was registered in July 2018 with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) under the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014 Registration Number 7831. It was set up with the charitable aim of being a community platform to focus on improving the physical, social and economic infrastructure of Caistor market town as well as the surrounding district. The Trust is run democratically by members on a one-member one-vote basis.
We have exclusively charitable objects which are:
• To maintain or improve the physical, social and economic infrastructure within Caistor and the surrounding district
• Function in accordance with the legal definition of a Community Land Trust
• Promote and protect local heritage
• Hold land in trust for its community
Some examples of ways in which the society may carry out these objectives may include:
• Creating training and employment opportunities
• Developing new or existing services to the local community that contribute to the local economy
• The provision of workspace, buildings or land to carry on our objectives
• The operation of one or more local amenities
• Providing access to land for its community
These objectives are carried on for the benefit of the community. While 2-4 Market Place will be our first capital project, the Trust has already successfully worked with key stakeholders on the old Mill Lane council depot. Through the support of the Trust, the site has been cleared and a feasibility study for a small development of new housing was carried out. Thanks to the Trust's initiative, ACIS Housing Association will be now moving the housing project forward.
