Anyone who would like to be part of a Self Build Housing Co-operative (or simply wants to find out more about it) is welcome to attend an open event held by Hebden Bridge Community Self Build Housing Community Interest Company (CIC), on Sunday September 9th, 3-5pm at the Hebden Bridge Trades Club.
The CIC wants to set up a Self Build Housing Co-operative, and the event will host speaker with practical experience of setting up a housing co-operative. There will be plenty of opportunity for people to air their thoughts and discuss the project with other prospective members. The aim of the event is to begin the process of forming the housing co-operative and agree as a wider group the next step forward. It is a great opportunity for everyone to get involved.
