Investors and Supporters Spring 2026 events

Join us for one of our upcoming virtual or in-person sessions (details below) happening over the first half of 2026 to learn more about the Stonehill Cohousing Project and how you could support making the project’s vision a reality.

In each session you will have a chance to meet the members, learn about the unique housing model and positive impact the project has already been creating in its first year. You will also learn how you could support the project’s bold ambitions as an investor in order to help the group bring the full site into community ownership in perpetuity. 

We are now gearing up to complete the purchase of the full site, bringing the full 18 acres into community ownership by the end of 2026. We are interested to meet with individuals, organisations and businesses that can help us progress the project.

Stonehill Cohousing demonstrates an alternative form of housing that directly addresses the housing crises by offering affordable housing linked to incomes, rather than market rates, demonstrates a form of community living that tackles loneliness and isolation and addresses the climate emergency by utilising existing buildings to house more people. The project is unique in the south of England and hopes to become a demonstrator for alternative community led housing, inspiring more projects like it.

The virtual sessions will start with a 15-minute presentation by current residents on the project and our achievements to date, followed by a Q&A and informal discussion among attendees. The session will be 45 minutes in total. Attendees can come and go as it suits, with no expectations of commitments on the call.

In-person events will include a site tour, presentation, and tea and cake. We will also plan to have an additional fun activity at each in-person session, such as wildflower bouquet making. Children are welcome to join. If interested, attending children are also welcome to meet and walk our resident alpacas. Please RSVP for in-person sessions by emailing info@stonehillcohousing.org.

Specifically, we are looking to connect with:

• New social investors who are in the position to invest, repaid with interest over a mutually agreed period
• Social and community businesses who are interested to work with Stonehill Cohousing and locate their activities on the site, jointly develop projects, or provide in-kind support
• Anyone who is interested to offer advice and time to support the development and management of the grounds and barns (we have roles in woodland management, gardening, fence repairs, community events support, litter picking etc.)

Come along and have an informal chat with us! We’d love to connect!
