Hargrave Road Community

We live in a custom-built community house sharing a belief in co-operation, negotiation and understanding, to arrange how we live together. The core values of our Housing Association home are that of respect, self-help, mutual support, and participation. We currently have a very vibrant mix of people, skills and cultures from around the world. Over the years our roof has sheltered many fascinating people. We have seen the development of ethical livelihoods: www.zaytoun.org (Palestinian olive oil), www.wholewoods.co.uk (Sustainable woodland skills and events), the study of a variety of subjects from anthropology to town planning, and strong musical influences from British folk to flamenco. Our garden has been supported via funding from BTCV’s People’s Places award and is somewhat of an oasis in the big smoke. House historian Mr Robert Bell has been here from the start and is well known for his guided tours. We advertize vacancies when they occur.
