One of the things that Oxford most needs to make it more liveable and sustainable is more genuinely affordable homes.
Following the inspiration of our Friend Tony Crofts, whom many Oxford Friends will remember, Oxfordshire Community Land Trust (OCLT) is doing something about this and has just started building 8 permanently affordable apartments off the Eynsham Road for local people in housing need.
It’s a great project that deserves to be scaled up. Fran Ryan (Director and Founder member) would like to come and talk to Friends about the project, following the Friday with Friends where she introduced the project to us a few years ago. Several Friends are already members (people can join for £1) and there is now also a Community Share Offer with Ethex.
You can watch a video about this (see below) or read more on OCLT website (see below) or go straight to the Ethex investment page and invest (see below). The minimum investment is £250 and Fran is on a mission to get 2000 people each investing the minimum to get people-powered housing really motoring across the county.
