We are hoping to raise £2,000 to get the Exeter Tiny House Community project kick-started. Funds are needed to enable us to create a Community Benefit Society then move forward towards identifying and purchasing land.
We are a group of 12 people (and growing!) who have a vision to build an intergenerational community of truly affordable tiny or compact homes in Devon UK. We envisage our inclusive community to be a flagship 'village' showing that people can live on the land with a low ecological impact. We are all in favour of the build, process and way of living to reflect our deep care and concern for the planet. This may include sourcing local sustainable materials to build our homes, using local labour and trying to be as self-reliant and resilient as possible.
As stewards of nature, we envisage producing community led renewable energy via wind and solar. We also hope to model community resilience via shared allotment and growing spaces. We would like the community we create to provide space for people to benefit from living alongside nature. We acknowledge the significant impact of vibrant green spaces to contribute positively to mental and physical health.
We have been working for over two years on this project but now it is time to move forward into a legal entity which you will be able to become a formal member of. Your kind donation will enable us to create a Community Benefit Society plus we are planning more training for those involved, publicity, outreach, room hire and expert help and advice - which all costs money! Thank you so much for supporting our vision, we really appreciate this.
Thanks to Transition Exeter for supporting us with our fundraising.
