LION’s main ongoing focus in 2025 is working toward collective land ownership for Black people and People of Colour in Britain building a model for stewarding land for community, learning, food-growing, healing and organising. This includes consultations, strategy development, and partnerships with other BPOC community groups. LION continues to act as an ecosystem builder connecting BPOC communities, activists and land practitioners with resources and shared learning. LION hosted community gatherings at their growing space inviting Black and People of Colour to celebrate, grow food, share culture and strengthen community connection. LION hosted an autumn community event focused on collective visions for land, inviting friends, supporters and community members to gather and share. In 2025 LION recruited a Finance Coordinator, indicating organisational growth and capacity building.
