[Cash-outreach-engagement-circle] Fwd: Inclusive Housing Co-ops - Join the research and training project!

[Herta Gatter]

Hi John,

I hope you are well.

I’m getting in touch with exciting news about the EDI research project we discussed back in July. We are currently doing outreach for the initial kick-off workshop - gathering interest amongst both co-op members and the wider community. I was wondering if it was possible to forward the below email to the co-ops you are working with - it would be much appreciated.

We are still keen to do a workshop with your staff members as well, please let us know when would be a good time to arrange this.

Kind regards,

Herta Gatter

> Dear all,
> 
> I hope this email finds you well.
> 
> I’m getting in touch from Community Assets for Society and Housing (CASH), an SE London Community Land Trust bringing residents and local organisations together to create more co-ops. I would like to invite you to help design and deliver a funded research and training project called Inclusive Housing Co-ops.
> 
> What is a co-operative?
> A housing co-op is a group of people who collectively own and manage their homes. Residents are tenants AND landlords, so rents are low and security is guaranteed in the long term. Co-ops are supportive communities where each person has an equal say in making decisions.
> 
> What do we want to find out?
> ·	How can we more people to benefit from the long term safety and affordability that co-ops provide?
> ·	How can we make co-ops more equitable, diverse and inclusive (EDI)?
> 
> Why are we interested in this?
> We believe that co-operatives can offer a genuinely affordable and community minded solution to the crisis we are living in. There are 300 existing co-ops in and around London and we want to help them become more inclusive. We are also passionate about creating new co-ops for people from all backgrounds.
> We are looking for both co-operative members and interested individuals from the wider community to form a core group to design a training and research project, including looking for funding and support from external organisations. No previous experience needed just an interest in affordable housing or diversity and inclusion!
> 
> As a first step we are planning a drop in info session and then the project will then officially start in November with a workshop facilitated by an EDI expert Milka Fisiha <https://www.linkedin.com/in/milka-fisiha%F0%9F%92%9A%F0%9F%A7%A1-42007464/>.
> 
> Drop-in info session: 28 October 1-2pm
> Kick-off workshop: 11 November 12-2pm
> Location: The Field NX, 385 Queens Road
> 
> If you are interested please respond to this email.
> 
> It would be much appreciated if you could please forward this invitation to everyone is your co-op / organisation and anyone else who might want to take part. I’ve attached a flyer for handing out and a separate image for socials.
