The Northleach Town Trustees are responsible for the administration of several ancient charities in the town, which include the two sets of almshouses, the Northleach Downs, presently farmed, and land to the North and South of the old A40, being a mixture of grazing and woodland. The Trust recently contributed substantially to the cost of the new Northleach playground and was involved in the re-opening of the old A40, which partially runs through land owned by the Trust. It is now developing the meadowlands on land north of the old A40, planting wildflowers and trees and building paved areas for the townsfolk to enjoy the surroundings.
