Friends of New Ground
We receive many inquiries and expressions of interest from co-housing groups, researchers, journalists and individuals who want to see what we have achieved - and of course from women who would like to apply to live here.
For the benefit of all interested parties and to ensure that New Ground remains sustainable in the years to come, we have launched our FRIENDS OF NEW GROUND initiative. See EVENTS below.
If you would like to become a FRIEND (N.B. not just open to women!) and to be placed on the mailing list for events and news, please complete the short form below.
Our upcoming hosted events are both social and informative and will, we hope, encourage supporters of not just New Ground, but of co-housing everywhere.
We would like to make it clear that becoming a Friend of New Ground is completely separate from applying for residential membership of New Ground Cohousing.
