London Countryside Co-Housing Group

We aim to develop a mutually supportive community, living in our own low energy homes, with some shared facilities. We want to encourage social contact and individual space, in a community managed by ourselves, the residents.
We created a not profit company in 2009 to enable us to purchase and develop land and we have a gradually increasing membership – currently 26. Membership is open to all ages and backgrounds, but we are at present aged 50+ from a variety of occupations.
We meet on the first Saturday of each month and meetings are followed by a shared lunch.
After some ‘near misses’ with site buying we hope to have a definite site identified in the next 12 months. Further details on our aims and values and how to join us are given on our website. The descriptive icons reflect our declared aspirations and will be confirmed as our community takes shape.
