What we do

We provide opportunities and spaces for people to lead their own change, generating income which helps provide spaces for people to live, work, and play. 

The money we make goes back into the community, from giving families and children the best start in life to supporting younger and older members of our neighbourhood. We provide housing that supports our residents, champion co-operative housing, and influence local and national housing policy. 

We promote enterprise, creativity, and lifelong learning, whether that’s through providing employment, volunteering opportunities, nurturing enterprise, or delivering programmes and activities.

We are conscious that our neighbourhood is a small part of a global community and that we all need to work together to tackle challenges and take a forward-thinking approach to driving change, here in Waterloo and across the country.
