We manage our assets and investments to generate income that enables us to care for the Garden City estate and support our local community, providing access to green spaces and a range of culture, heritage, learning and leisure facilities. We fund and support local organisations working to improve everyone’s quality of life and meet our charitable objectives.
2028 is the 125th Anniversary of Letchworth Garden City
We have launched Strategy 2028 which outlines how we will work towards achieving our vision, that living in Letchworth Garden City offers everyone the opportunity to flourish as part of a vibrant community; enjoying the best that both town and country offers, benefitting from easy access to nature and with unrivalled facilities, culture and support networks.
We will achieve this by focussing on six key strategic aims. You can read about these in Strategy 2028.
