GOVERNANCE

Trinity Lands was formed by merging three foundational trusts, Lichfield Lands, Longview Trust, and Hillview Trust.

People with a Purpose

Good governance is critical to the success of any business. Our grandparents, and great-grandparents, who started the trusts were renowned for their sharp business acumen and they ran those first farms with the express intention of making them hum. They were acutely aware that the more they could earn, the more they could give to their community.

The Directors

The directors of Trinity Lands are appointed by the shareholding trusts Lichfield Lands, Longview Trust and Hillview Trust. They have a wide range of business experience and a strong connection to the charitable values of Trinity Lands.

Our Operation

We run a very lean operation and rely heavily on extensive volunteer input from people with renowned agricultural and horticultural nous. In recent years, we’ve created a small paid executive to ensure we have appropriate governance for an organisation of our size.

The Executive Team

The executive develops the strategy, and then our board challenges and supports that strategy, and monitors performance and compliance.
