Are you interested in being part of a brand new cohousing group in Oxon?

A new cohousing group is forming in Eynsham, West Oxfordshire with a view to seeking potential land on the Salt Cross Garden Village for the project.

Facilitating peer to peer CLP learning

Community First Oxfordshire helped to run the Piddington CLP launch, advised the steering group, and helped to design an event that involved 4 other villages, 2 to offer advice from their experience of carrying out CLPs and 2 to learn from Piddington. The event generated a great deal of enthusiasm and ideas came up that were begun to be worked on immediately (the desire for a village apple press). It was a good example of peer support from one community to another working well to inspire people. The usual community engagement methods and post it notes exercises worked well with some new ideas such as allocating the “facilitator” of each small group at random by placing a pack of instructions under one chair.
