Here are some of the things people have said about working with us
“We simply would not be where we are today without the support and advice from CLH London. They enabled us to create a viability assessment with professional consultants. This was the backbone of a business plan which was also informed by the CLH hub. That business plan and it’s presentation has lead to approval in principle from the Council and we are now working towards a planning permission. The CLH hub has been crucial in helping us go from being several volunteers to a well organised CLT with an active Board and clear roles and governance. The Hub have been helping us navigate the challenges of grant funding, registered provider negotiations.”
“The CLH Hub have helped connect us to project managers, development experts, the GLA, funders such as Triodos and have held our hand in taking these next exciting steps in a professional way. We really hope our relationship and their mentorship will continue so we can continue going from strength to strength.”
“CLH London have helped us with every challenge that has presented itself, and where it doesn’t have resources they have been developed. It is hard to anticipate areas where we will need support going forward, however we feel confident that CLH London will adapt to our changing needs.”
“The CLH London hub enabled us to focus on a deliverable project, helped us with navigating the interaction with local government, introduced us to potential funders and funded development of our Business Plan and stages beyond.”
“Helped us make sometimes general and sometimes very specific strategic decisions. Also given us confidence knowing we could turn to them for help when needed.”
“Advice has so far always been very helpful on various levels, i.e. providing answers to questions, advising on other people/experts to contact, sharing of templates and other useful information and tools, in depth advice sessions on specific topics. At the moment, we are working on three different areas in the development of our CLT and CLH London has been of great assistance with all of them (site search & capacity studies, financial modelling, outreach & research).”
“Whenever there is a question regarding your own project or generally about community-led housing, the hub is there to help. Either somebody in the team can help or they’ll find the right person for you to help. Or they look into finding the person that you’ll need to help you on the next step. Always helpful, always very supportive!”
