DREAMERS MAKE OWN VERSION OF GOOD LIFE COME TRUE

Estate agents are fond of describing the houses they’re trying to sell as “dream homes”.

However for two properties currently on the market in West Yorkshire, the description seems particularly apt – although thankfully, there is not an estate agent in sight.

The UK Cohousing Network is interested in receiving expressions of interest from organisations or individuals to provide external supervision and support to the co-ordinator.

The contract would be for an initial 12 months; an all inclusive fee of up to £4000 is available.

For further information, please see brief

Interested parties should submit a short proposal giving details of their qualifications and how they might fulfil the brief by 22 January to recr...@cohousing.org.uk putting “expression of interest” in the subject line.

The UK Cohousing Network was set up in 2004 to promote and develop cohousing in the UK.
We wish to appoint our first Coordinator to take the Network to its next stage of development. We are looking for an energetic and self motivated person who will work from home and will be supported by a part time project worker.

Cohousing in Britain

This new publication from the Diggers & Dreamers collective is focused upon a look at how Cohousing is faring in the UK and is a follow up to the previous release of 'Thinking about Cohousing' in 2004. A wide range of Cohousing practitioners and projects have contributed to the book, and it gives an engaging picture of how Cohousing communities are progressing in modern Britain, and what they are doing to generate success.

COHOUSING GROUP STARTING IN NORTHERN IRELAND
This project was started by a group of friends in October 2011. We had all
been thinking in our own way of how it could be possible to live in an
environment that would be nurturing and supportive, full of interest with
different people and activities while at the same time ecologically sound
and with moderate running costs. Cohousing seems to offer all of this (and
more) and with nothing available in Northern Ireland we are setting up our
own project.
