Living Cooperatively
Wed 27th November 2019
6:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Interested in cooperative living or cohousing?
Join us for an evening of presentations and discussion exploring how groups in London are developing ways of building and living together.
From housing coops to cohousing, approaches to living cooperatively have provided affordable, secure and mutually supportive housing in London for years. Now with the precarity and isolation created by private renting (and more recently co-living), more people are looking to different community led housing models as a solution to the city’s ever-increasing housing pressures.
This event is for anyone interested in housing co-ops, cohousing or other forms of community led housing. We’re inviting people from projects in London to share their experiences with other groups and anyone interested in joining or starting one for themselves.

The evening will end with networking and drinks.
