Hope Cohousing – a community interest company – is working to establish a small cohousing project in St Margaret’s Hope, Orkney, creating affordable rental homes for older people who want to live independently and build a supportive community.
There will be six new eco-aware houses, with shared amenities, a garden….and hens. Our vision is to create affordable rental homes as a lasting community benefit.
