Homebaked Community Land Trust is a community led organisation with a scalable, sustainable and creative approach to community ownership. We are a growing group of people who live, work and regularly visit Anfield and Everton, who have been working together since 2012 to improve things for our community and make our neighbourhood somewhere we can all live well. For us, that means genuinely affordable, warm, healthy, secure, and environmentally friendly homes, good quality jobs, and welcoming spaces to come together, learn and celebrate - not just now, but for generations to come.

We believe that together, as local people, we shape and own our social, cultural and economic future. The way we work creates the conditions and opportunities to find community-led solutions to meet our neighbourhood’s needs and aspirations, through collaboration, creativity, adaptability, bravery and rebuilding pride in place - despite decades of top down regeneration attempts and dispossession. 

We started by saving our iconic neighbourhood bakery building from demolition, supporting our first business tenant to develop a thriving community business, and creating a shared home for four people.But the community-led transformation we are working to achieve is much bigger than a single home or community business, and instead will be achieved through collective action towards systemic change. We are committed to supporting local ideas, businesses and collectives to flourish, and are working to bring further local buildings into community ownership to develop more affordable homes, business and community spaces with and for our neighbours.

Doing this properly is challenging, not least because we work within inequitable systems and structures, with low market values and competition from developers only making it harder. But we remain committed to transforming regeneration in our community, finding ways for more of the money spent locally to stay here. We exist to make Anfield and Everton a vibrant place to live, work and play – a place where we can all live well – through truly community-led, grass roots development that keeps land and housing in community ownership, by the people, for the people.
