Significant events
- “In 2024 the Land Trust turned 20 years old. As the organisation entered its third decade, we undertook a rebranding exercise, developed a new visual identity and logo, coupled with the launch of a new, more modern, website.”
- “During the year 2024/25, the organisation saw a continued growth in the social value delivered across the Land Trust portfolio, with an estimated £76.9m worth of benefits delivered in 2024/25. A significant 98% increase on 2023/24.”
- “The Land Trust was appointed as a Responsible Body by Defra in September 2024. Responsible Body status means we can enter into legal agreements with landowners and organisations called 'conservation covenants', designed to establish the long-term protection of land for the benefit of nature.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
