We're bringing fairer housing to #York - creating community led, financially & environmentally sustainable neighbourhoods
Our team attended the #NorthernWay Community Housing Summit last week in Leeds, hosted by People Powered Homes Ltd
We had a visit to Chapeltown cohousing and many interesting talks. It was an opportunity to check-in and consider how the network can scale community led development across the North!
We had a visit from Owen Jarvis, CEO of UK Cohousing Network!
The sun was shining (we like photos in the sun!).We're loving the views from the windows and seeing the porches going up. It was great to share this visit with Owen, thanks for all your support.

Our COO, James Neward, and co-operative member, Sophia Cheng (and Fin!) were on site at Lowfield Green with the BBC yesterday, capturing the buzz at the nearly completed development!
Thanks to the #BBC team! Stay tuned for coverage, we’ll be sure to let you know when to tune in to watch it...
There’s so much more to co-ops… and this website, brought to you by co-operative education and Creative Coop is a really great place to explore why!

It’s great to see more organisations setting up as #cooperatives, and choosing fairer collaborative #governance models: www.uk.coop/start-new-co...
Early July's sunshine coincided with some great site progress at #LowfieldGreen!
The cladding is on, interiors are taking shape, and we’re nearly ready for the final services. For co-operative members, that means seeing their new kitchens come to life!
Watch this space for the finishing touches...
Guess who was on the radio yesterday talking about the UPCOMING MOVE IN for members of Lowfield Green Housing Co-operative!

Roll up, roll up!
We had an amazing time at Homestead Park Festival: Here is Hope!
We asked: What would YOU do with York’s empty and available spaces? Through creativity and conversation, we reimagined land use that truly benefits local people.
Thanks to JRF & Wild Rumpus for such a great event!
