Based in East London, Beam River CLT is aiming to empower disadvantaged members of the African community through the provision of affordable housing.
They are also motivated by the negative impacts of loneliness and isolation and are looking to create a supportive community, which will combat the challenge of social care for the elderly.
How we helped
We supported Beam River CLT to focus their strategic thinking and helped them incorporate.
A small group looking at building a mixed tenure, inter-generational, eco-community in North East London.
The group have a mix of ages, skills and ethnicities, brought together by shared values and ideals. They hope to build a community where they can live in affordable well-designed homes with others who share that desire. Some members have been researching and networking for some time, and are beginning to develop a group looked at decision-making methods such as sociocracy.
How we’re helping
We are helping clarify objectives, and have previously put them in contact with an interested developer about a site in Lea Bridge.
