About the Community

What we do

We are eleven people committed to supporting each other; we live in a community guided by consensus, in a house neither owned nor rented, with roots of ecological sustainability and social justice going back to 1943.

Our Vision

The Cambridge Cooperative Club is, and is always trying to become, a joyful and realistic alternative example of how to live ecologically sustainable lives concerned with peace and justice while remaining open to learning from each other and the world.
