Cohousing

Some of you might be interested in a meeting that's due to take place at the Global Café on 19 January.

Cohousing Berkshire is a new group for people interested in the possibility of establishing a cohousing community in the county.

The essential concept of cohousing is a community made up of private homes but with shared space for occasional communal meals and other activities and some shared facilities. Although the main aim of cohousing is to make people feel less isolated, there's also a definite ecological benefit that comes along with it. Sharing resources automatically reduces environmental impact and cohousing communities naturally tend to attract people with a commitment to sustainable living.

To find out more visit www.cohousingberks.org.uk and, if you're free, go along to the Global Café at 7.45 on Monday 19 January.
