Building Communities!

“I currently share a bedroom with my daughter. I dream of playing in my own back garden with my child.

I am 29 and my daughter is 5 years old. But the day I push my child’s swing in our garden is getting closer.

As I will shortly move into a home I have designed.”

Sarah Davies Resident and member of Co-operative 2000
