Rotunda Community Land Trust
Making Housing Our Home
Our commitment to local people
Formed in 2023, Rotunda Community Land Trust became the latest addition to The Rotunda Group. Rotunda CLT was established to make a longstanding vision to provide safe, affordable and quality homes for people in North Liverpool a reality, benefitting communities now and generations to come. Our plans build upon our sister company Rotunda Ltd’s commitment to local people; since 1986, Rotunda Ltd has made £7.5m of investment in built assets, acting as custodians of local heritage and drivers of social regeneration. Now Rotunda CLT makes even more possible.
Developed with our community, for our community, Rotunda CLT is deeply rooted in local neighbourhoods, with all of our properties designed from the voices of people living in North Liverpool. We work closely with Liverpool City Council, Liverpool City Region Combined Authority and local partners to champion community-led housing, paving the way for land to move into long-term community ownership. We know by working with people where they are we can provide permanently affordable homes, new economic opportunities and immense social value outcomes.
What Kim Johnson MP has to say...
“Since 1986, Rotunda has made a real difference to children, adults and families across North Liverpool, delivering essential support in keeping with key local agendas, whilst platforming community voices. Rotunda’s contribution to local communities is significant, providing practical immediate support and the tools for people to achieve their future goals. Their work delivered across community education and wellbeing outcomes, as well as their ambitious future plans to provide inter-generational social housing is to be commended. I have witnessed first-hand Rotunda’s courage and commitment to the social regeneration of Kirkdale and surrounding areas from this pioneering organisation. They have my full support.”
Our Projects
Rotunda House
Rotunda House: 117 Great Mersey Street is a beautiful Grade II listed building, which has now been refurbished by Rotunda CLT to serve renewed social purpose as Rotunda House.
Rotunda House provides high quality transitional housing and wraparound support for women facing barriers to education and opportunities, changing their lives and their family’s futures.
Rotunda Village
Rotunda CLT are progressing plans to build 112 new affordable homes in North Liverpool on former Brownfield Land near Everton Park. The concept combines local leadership, environmentally conscious Passivhaus technologies and dementia-friendly design principles to support intergenerational living and a place that really feels like home.
This is more than bricks and mortar.
Rotunda Village will link with nearby Rotunda College and Community Hub to offer education, training and skills for working age residents, baking in sustainable opportunities for local people to build the lives they want through on site employment placements and courses. Rotunda Village will also provide long term homes to women living with us short term at Rotunda House. In these ways and more, Rotunda Village will wrap its arms around our communities, acting as a surrogate support network for anyone in need of a place to be.
Once completed, our schemes will deliver:
- 112 new permanently affordable, community-owned homes across north Liverpool
- Long-term community ownership of land and assets
- Locally designed housing, reflecting neighbourhood priorities
- Increased community control over development and regeneration
- Accessible, tailored personal development opportunities.
This exciting project is the first of its kind in the UK, with North Liverpool leading innovative solutions to the ongoing housing crisis, built from local people’s voices to truly strengthen neighbourhoods.
