What we do

We are a group of 7 big people and one small one who have set up a housing co-operative in Swansea. We started getting together to talk about the idea in March 2010, and have been working on it ever since. We finally got the keys to our Very Own House on 30th May 2012. Now we’re looking at expanding to provide housing for more people locally.

Our Vision

As an organisation our focus is on providing affordable environmentally resilient housing, and supporting our members to live in a low impact manner.
