Would you like to become involved in a new Housing Co-operative in Glasgow?
We are looking for people to help start a housing and community project with the aim to co-create a communal living place and also to provide spaces and create situations for a wide-range of cultural and political events.
We are an open collective based on mutual aid and trust who would like to hear from people who are interested in making a colourful and welcoming home. As we wish to help shape our communities and contribute to social and environmental change, we also envisage the opening of a space that acts as a neighbourhood hub. This might involve facilitating a self-organised community centre, a not-for-profit café and bookshop, the setting up of studios for local artists, workshops for workers’ co-operatives, office space for campaign groups, producing a vegetable garden, and so on.
By participating in all areas of our life that are undermined, we intend to take back control of the way we live, work, and socialise.
This project is in its early stages and the eventual outcome will be determined by the people who choose to make it. No specific experience, knowledge or skills are necessary, and this project should be inclusive of all persons. But we do want to live in a peaceful, honest, and sharing environment, so if this interests you, regardless of your situation then we are open to your ideas, and welcome your involvement and suggestions at any time.
Should you wish to contact us for more information, please feel free to email:

With warmth
