Rhizome is a Radical Routes housing co-op based in Nottingham that has been running for around a year now. Rhizome has seven members, although we are currently going through a process of expansion.
At the moment, we are putting an offer in on an exciting property close to the Forest Fields area of the city. In addition to providing co-operative housing for our members, the property also has a large former factory building, some of which we hope to open up as a community space for a diverse range of social projects and campaigning.
If you are interested in supporting our project, then we would welcome investments of any size, and we offer interest rates of 0-4% with repayment periods of 5, 10 and 15 years.
For more info, see our blog or please email rhizomehousingcoop @riseup.net
Plan B is a Manchester-based housing coop and the latest addition to the Radical Routes family, having joined the network at the Brighton gathering in mid-November 2009.
We are currently viewing large properties in South Manchester with a view to providing housing and resources (eg. a library or meeting space) for Manchester's social change community. To make this happen, we are looking for investment in loan stock. We are taking loans of anything over £500 and can offer flexible terms and interest rates. If you'd like to support our project or are interested in finding out more, we'd love to hear from you.
You can read more about what Plan B's about and how you can invest by following this link to our blog. Alternatively, you can send us an email and we'll give you a call:
