Questionnaire April 2025 - All Change Please!
|
As you know, we got dealt a blow when we discovered just how expensive material and labour costs are. This impacts building both new homes and refitting out old buildings. Getting advice from other sources merely confirmed this. So it's all change for CLAN Cohousing - and that means we need to hear from you. You probably want a chance to know more and ask questions, so Mav has written a presentation to try and explain how we have got here and answer some questions you might have. He is very very happy to chat with folks about it over Discord/Zoom/other so that you can ask those niche questions before you fill in the questionnaire - drop us an email at CLANcohousing@gmail.com to find a time to chat to him (or any of us). If you just want to look at it to see where we are at, the presentation can be found here: Link to presentation --> Mini Update April 2025 Mav and the First Steps group have written a questionnaire to find out more about what you want. Some of the options on there are obvious, some may seem a bit more left field. This is deliberate, because the more options we have on the table the more likely one of them will make it into reality. We aren't a community without you, so we need to know where your red lines and your ideas are at. Link to form --> CLAN questionnaire April 2025 Thanks for reading, and hopefully for filling in the form. Every response will help up focus in on the option that can encompass the most people. All the best, |

Hello! I know it's short notice but I have just been alerted to this event which you may be interested in. Leeds Community Homes are one of the organisations we work with, and this will be a good intro into the concept of community-led housing (including co-housing) and an introduction to some of the existing housing projects in Yorkshire. 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...
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...
