We have one wheelchair accessible room, and a ground floor communal shower and bathroom with some access. We are UC-friendly. Unfortunately we cannot house furry pets.

Our interests include baking, gardening, disability activism, public transport, music, board games, prison abolition and weird gay shit. We are looking for responsible and considerate queer people who take care of our communal spaces and are enthusiastic about building a welcoming, homely and comfortable living space with us.

We make decisions by consensus and aim to keep our rent below the maximum paid by Housing Benefit. We eat together on weekday evenings, taking turns to prepare a vegan meal. We share the costs of food, as well as maintenance costs and bills, and also share the work involved in running the co-op and caring for the house.

If you are interested in joining our co-op, please email us on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and we will send you more details and tell you how to apply. The process takes a couple of months while we get to know you, and involves you coming to stay for a week.

Coming soon space in cooperative household in Nottingham. Would suit pre-existing group of 3 to join one other. Contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

If you are interested in living with us, please get in contact and we’ll send you more information. We will invite you to come & visit and start the process of getting to know each other and sharing what it’s like to live here. We know it’s a big move for a family, and envisage spending some months getting to know you.

At present we are 10 adults all busy doing our own things. Although the baby living here will be leaving, there are children living on the street, and we want to continue having a child/children here. (Some of our children grew into adults and stayed!) Our outside interests range from gardening to music to cycling to campaign work.

We’ve got a vacancy for a family as we really want to have children in the Co-op and we have rooms in a couple of our houses which would suit single people. Our rent is £55/week per adult, plus bills and a contribution to our income-sharing pot (which pays insurance, water rates & internet costs).

About the co-op:

Dragonfly is a housing co-op that has been going for over 17 years. It is part of the network of housing co-ops Radical Routes. The housing co-op was started for and continues to be a house and centre for people involved in activism and organising around environmental and social justice issues.

The house has 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and an open-plan living room and kitchen.. It has a back garden with fruit trees and bushes, a greenhouse, tool shed, sauna and fire pit. The house backs on to Florence Park and is on a sociable street (Campbell Road) - we have a good relationship with lots of our neighbours.

We are a friendly and sociable house. We cook and eat communally and this is an important part of communal life for us. Shared meals are vegan and although people can prepare vegetarian food for themselves we agree not to have meat in the house. We get a weekly veg box delivered and get bulk whole-food orders from an ethical supplier. We have a system to take it in turns to cook and wash up and we also share the cleaning of the house.

We have monthly house meetings where we discuss any issues that arise and decide maintenance and development tasks. We are responsible as a house for any maintenance, painting, fixing etc. At least one member of the house will attend the quarterly Radical Routes network gathering around the country. We occasionally have house or bonfire parties or people around for dinner or to use the sauna. We also often host meetings and have people from other Radical Routes co-ops or activist networks staying on the sofa.

We are really looking for people who are interested in being part of our community for the medium to long term (over a year). We would consider couples if the situation was right, so please get in touch!

About us: When our current housemates move out there will be 4 remaining members (Henry, Alice, Chris and Chris). We range from the ages of 22 - 30. We are all involved in working, volunteering or campaigning around environmental and social justice issues and this is a big part of the ethos of the house.

Rent costs are £300 p/month and we pay a set amount of £65 per month for all bills, council tax and our veg box/food order.

Questions:

1) Dragonfly is a housing co-op that houses people involved in social change work. Please tell us about your involvement in activism or other social change work?

2) As a Radical Routes housing co-op, residents need to be able to commit to attending a minimum of one of the Radical Routes weekend gatherings per year and potentially joining a Radical Routes working group if you were interested in that (at least one of us needs to be in an RR working group). Please tell us what you think about this and how it would work for you.

3) We share food and eat communally and take it in turns to cook for each other and wash-up after the meal (each person usually doing at least one evening a week). We also do around 30 minutes of cleaning in communal areas each week. We have a house meeting every month to discuss and make decisions about the house, schedule/decide on maintenance tasks, and review items for the Radical Roots Gatherings. Please tell us what you think about this and how it would work for you..

4) We as the residents are collectively responsible for the up keep of the use and garden and you need to have a willingness to get involved with house maintenance jobs, how do you feel about this and do you have any particular skills or experience you can bring around this?

5) Do you have pets?

7) Do you have any support or access needs, habits or routines that you think may have an impact on people you live with (please include information on current or recent addiction issues such as drugs, alcohol or gambling).

8) Other people in our house: We are a friendly house and have occasional people staying over on the sofa perhaps once or twice a month. People's partners sometimes stay for two or three nights a week. We sometimes hold meetings about local community work or activist groups in the living room. We sometimes have small gatherings of friends over and the odd party. Are you comfortable

about what we have outlined here?

9) If you were offered the room, when would you be looking to move in and how long are you looking to stay for?
