About LGCHF

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.

Letchworth Garden City is the world’s first Garden City, created as a solution to the squalor and poverty of urban life in Britain in the late 19th Century.

Being entrusted to look after the world’s first Garden City means we must have a strong and skilled leadership team.

We own and operate multiple venues across Letchworth.

Our Sustainability Strategy focuses on our own activities, to maximise positive environmental and social outcomes, minimising negative impacts.

In addition to being a community grant-giving organisation, the Foundation is now actively seeking support from like-minded organisations to help us fulfil our vision.

Our Vision is that living in Letchworth Garden City offers everyone the opportunity to flourish as part of a vibrant community
