We co-hosted a brilliant workshop for the other member co-ops of Collective Ownership Society!

We are very excited about the launch of COS because we are beginning a snowball effect of new housing co-ops.

We are in the process of planning our next Co-op Support Surgery!
Previous surgeries have been held at RUSS, Deptford Co-op, Sanford Co-op, Dennet's Co-op and Nimbus Co-op.

If you would like to host us, get in touch!

We have recently launched our organisational membership!

👉 🫂 If your co-op would like to join a growing number of co-ops working together to support each other in London email communication@ldn.cash

For our yearly away day we went to Hastings. We had an inspiring day plotting our priorities and scheming our successes for the year to come!

CASH have been busy! We are working with the Collective Ownership Society to devise a plan to help set up / expand housing co-operatives in London!

We started a newsletter documenting some of the work coming out of the co-op surgery we have been running at some SE London Housing co-ops.

We are really excited to see how the Stirchley Co-op Development is coming along! www.stirchley.coop
#coophousing

This co-op illustrates how energy-efficient buildings are more affordable in the long term and is a good model for communities looking to address the housing crisis #housing #housingcrisis #coophousing #energyefficiency www.nationalobserver.com/2024/04/30/n...

"The attraction of La Chalmeta #CoopHousing is not only its affordability but its community spirit"...

We help groups to form co-operatives and acquire housing, we are currently signing an MoU with Moon Co-op mooncoop.org

Co-op Open Spaces

4) We spoke about participation among experienced members. Members have a responsibility to participate, but sometimes life gets in the way.

After thought:
We should help each other to get back to participating after members have had a break.

3) Do we need to explicitly teach the 'co-op mindset'? Is trusting new members will automatically participate exclusive and alienating?

After all, we live in a highly individualistic society.

If we want co-ops to become main stream, we will have to address this.

2) We were hosted by the #RUSS community hub. We talked about how inducting new members is related to participation, has anyone researched this I wonder?

It made me think about the barriers to participation of new members.

Is the 'co-op mindset' a barrier in itself?...

Co-op Open Spaces

1) We are holding regular meet ups to support co-operatives old and new in our area.

The theme for the last meeting was 'participation within co-operatives'.

We just moved from X for obvious reasons. We hope to help build the Blue sky community! We will be sharing our thoughts on co-operatives and housing in the UK. As well as documenting or journey to help Moon coop move into their first house.
