Working towards a community-led future for Astley Ainslie
For generations, Astley Ainslie has been an important place for health, nature, heritage, everyday walking, and well-being.
We believe its future should be shaped by public benefit, community voice and long-term stewardship.
The Astley Ainslie Community Trust works to ensure the community’s voice is heard in decisions about the site’s future.

Working towards community ownership
For more than a century, the Astley Ainslie has been a treasured public asset. With the NHS set to sell the land, we believe that community ownership will yield the greatest benefit to local people, and ensure protection of these unique green spaces and historic buildings. Read more about our vision for the site, and how community ownership at this scale can work.
