Our Members

We vet prospective members for suitability by criteria which may include; income, means & local connection.

During the interview process candidates are assessed for “co-operability”, understanding of co-ops and participation.

We are also open to nominations of suitable candidates from the local housing register.

The benefits of co-op membership

Co-ops offer additional value to their Members through education and training, Members also have the opportunity to acquire beneficial life skills.

Access to affordable housing means our Members can; enter further education, retrain, engage in social work, pursue creative careers or improve their financial position.

Our commitment to diversity, equality & inclusion.

The 1st cooperative principle requires co-ops actively seek to eliminate discrimination in our society.

Our values are that of the co-operative movement, and we aim to reflect the diversity of the local community in our membership.

Our co-ops believe in equal opportunities for all

Who we are

Each co-op aims to represent the local community; our commitment to equal opportunities is embedded in co-op culture. We encourage applications from people with all life experiences for what they can bring to our memberships.
