Our guiding principles

For us it means the creation of permanent affordable sustainable independent homes led by a self supporting community in which residents can hopefully live close to where they work or work from home. A diverse intergenerational and multicultural community who live in a mix of tenures and sizes of homes and engage in the shaping of that community through engagement with the building and maintenance of their homes and environment  

Communal spaces indoors engender social eating, support for each other and reduce isolation. Access to gardens and allotments drives wellbeing. 

Positive impact on the environment is driven by:

• Eco build principles providing clean warm low cost homes
• Sharing resources like tools, washing machines, cycles, cars
• Establishing no waste and water recycling water principles
• Growing food for ourselves
