What is this wiki for, and how to use it
This wiki is to help you set up and maintain housing co-operatives in the UK. It was created by Radical Routes, a UK-wide network of co-operatives for radical social change.
We encourage people to get involved, not just in making housing co-ops but in developing this wiki. Currently (October 2022) It is free for all to edit, or you can contact Radical Routes Digital Working group by emailing digitalwg [at] radicalroutes.org.uk (replace the [at] with the @ symbol). If you do make edits, please remember to comment what you've edited when you save!
