A date for your diaries: Saturday 1st March 2025


We hope you had a good Christmas and New Year, so it's time for Gathering II, Spring 2025!

We have booked a space at LILAC co-housing in Leeds, the same venue as last time.
The format will be broadly similar too: a tour of LILAC, a presentation and Q&A session in their common lounge, followed by games in their common room.

As last time, there is a first-come-first served offer of bed space at Mavis'. Food will be decided closer to the time when we know who is coming and dietary needs.

First time attendees will be given first preference, but of you've been before you are welcome to come again if there's space.

Please RSVP by clicking here: Gathering II response form - including if you'd like to come but can't make this date.

We hope to see you there!

If you want to know more do drop Lucy an email (or send us an email and I'll contact her on your behalf). I hope to be there too. All the best,Laura...

Thanks for bearing with us, folks. Since our last email when we had just discovered the insane cost of building new dwellings post-pandemic, we've had to go back and start researching other options, like modular buildings, pre-existing flats/groups of houses, and converting old buildings into dwellings. These options may not be as perfect as being able to build something to our co-housing dream specifications, but we hope that we can find a solution that still keeps the heart and ideals of...

Good evening folks, TL:DR; Please click here to have a look through our presentation that was made at CLAN the Gathering I, giving an update on what has been done, what has been decided, and what we have left to do. Please note that we had lots of discussions around these slides so this isn't the full story, but it's a decent starter for those who couldn't make it. If anyone has any questions off the back of the presentation, please email us at CLANcohousing@gmail.com so that we can either...
