Five Rivers Cohousing

Set up in 2012, we have done a lot of background work and made many attempts at getting a site in Sheffield, from bidding at auction, to working with local housing associations, and so on. We had high hopes in late 2019 but that one also fell through when the developer pulled out. We did, though, get a grant from Homes England and have been benefitting greatly from the help of a professional Development Consultant. In early 2021, we are in renewed discussions with another developer about a site on the west side of the city. We are aiming for 10-25 units, of varying sizes and high-eco sustainable build, that are multi-affordable, and lived in by a multi-generational community.  So we are very keen for more people to join us, to be part of developing our plans, and if possible to pledge some capital towards the costs.
