Tir Cyffredin Housing Co-operative

07/08/2026

Diolch o galon from all of us at Tir Cyffredin Housing Co-operative for helping us achieve our loanstock investment target.

Whether you are a new investor, a re-investor, a former investor, or one of the many, many people who have supported this endeavour so generously in manifold other ways... we say thank you.

This quote, from a book written about the co-operative movement way back in 1931 struck a chord with us while researching our open day:

“The co-operative ideal is as old as human society. It is the idea of conflict and competition as a principle of economic progress that is new.”

Thanks for keeping the idea alive.

Diolch o galon gan bob un ohonon ni yng Ngydweithfa Tai Tir Cyffredin am ein helpu i gyflawni ein targed stoc benthyciadau.

P'un a ydach chi'n fuddsoddwr newydd, yn ail-fuddsoddwr, yn gyn-fuddsoddwr, neu'n un o'r nifer fawr o bobl sydd wedi cefnogi'r ymdrech hon mor hael mewn amrywiaeth o ffyrdd eraill... dan i’n ddiolchgar iawn iawn.

Tarodd y dyfyniad hwn, o lyfr a ysgrifennwyd am y mudiad cydweithredol yn ôl ym 1931, tant gyda ni wrth ymchwilio i'n diwrnod agored:

“Mae delfryd y cwmni cydweithredol mor hen â chymdeithas ddynol. Y syniad o wrthdaro a chystadleuaeth fel egwyddor o gynnydd economaidd sy'n newydd.”

Diolch am gadw'r syniad yn fyw.

Bryn Tyrnol, the birthplace and long-time “HQ” of El Sueño Existe festival is now home to Machynlleth’s newest housing cooperative, providing secure and affordable housing to 7 people, many of them musicians.

In a spirit of radicalism, Tir Cyffredin (as the coop is called) demonstrates that an alternative, ethical, housing model is possible.

As we approach 5 years, we’re seeking a second round of loanstock. Invest between £1,000 and £60,000.

Make a worthwhile social investment for a length of time and interest rate that suit you.

Help make a better world possible - one where housing is controlled by the people and not the rich. ¡El sueño existe!

Mae Bryn Tyrnol, man geni a "phencadlys" y gŵyl El Sueño Existe bellach yn gartref i gydweithfa dai newydd Machynlleth, gan ddarparu tai diogel a fforddiadwy i 7 o bobl, llawer ohonynt yn gerddorion.

Mewn ysbryd radicaliaeth, mae Tir Cyffredin (fel y gelwir y gydweithfa) yn dangos bod model tai amgen, moesegol, yn bosibl.

Wrth i ni agosáu at 5 mlynedd, dan ni’n chwilio am ail rownd o stoc benthyciadau. Buddsoddwch rhwng £1,000 a £60,000.

Gwnewch fuddsoddiad cymdeithasol gwerth chweil am gyfnod o amser a chyfradd llog sy'n addas i chi.

Helpu i wneud byd gwell yn bosibl - un lle mae tai yn cael eu rheoli gan y bobl ac nid y cyfoethog. ¡El sueño existe!

At our open day, we asked people “Why are co-ops great?!”

Here are just some of the dozens of answers - together with some photos from the day.

THANK YOU SO MUCH to all of those who supported us. Whether pledging loanstock, performing poetry, lending us equipment, giving a hand with setting up, serving on the bar, or simply bringing your lovely selves to make the day a success. We see each and every one of you, and we appreciate you beyond belief.

It’s not too late to invest! We still have £15,000 to raise by 2 August. Please consider supporting Tir Cyffredin Housing Coop to stay at Bryn Tyrnol for another 5 years.

Visit our website for more information.

Yn ein diwrnod agored, gofynnwyd i bobl “Pam mae cydweithfeydd yn wych?!”

Dyma rai o’r dwsinau o atebion - ynghyd â rhai lluniau o’r diwrnod.

DIOLCH YN FAWR IAWN i bawb a’n cefnogodd. Boed yn addo benthyg stoc, yn perfformio barddoniaeth, yn benthyg offer i ni, yn rhoi help llaw gyda’r gosodiad, yn gweini ar y bar, neu’n syml yn dod â’ch hunain hyfryd i wneud y diwrnod yn llwyddiant. Rydym yn gweld pob un ohonoch, ac rydym yn eich gwerthfawrogi’n fawr.

Nid yw’n rhy hwyr i fuddsoddi! Mae gennym £15,000 i’w godi o hyd erbyn 2 Awst. Ystyriwch gefnogi Cydweithfa Dai Tir Cyffredin i aros ym Mryn Tyrnol am 5 mlynedd arall.

Ewch i’n gwefan am ragor o wybodaeth.

Not every campaign clip comes together on the first take... and we're totally okay with that! 😂🎬

For those of you that saw our launch video from day 1 of our campaign, we are letting you in on the fact that (not surprisingly) we had giggles, outfit changes, missed cues and bloopers all round!

Luckily the camera caught our efforts, which capture the funny times and we thought you deserve to see them!

Which blooper is your favourite?

From our Friend's at the Clubhouse x

Deadline tomorrow! Please share if you know people who are interested

Mae The Clubbhouse (Yr Hen Olchdy) yn gartref ym Machynlleth sy’n eiddo i gydweithfa ac yn cael ei redeg yn ddemocrataidd, gyda dwy ystafell ar gael o’r 1af o Fehefin! 🏡

Mae byw yma’n golygu bod yn rhan o gydweithfa dai fach: rydyn ni’n gwneud penderfyniadau gyda’n gilydd ac yn rhannu’r cyfrifoldeb am sut mae ein cartref yn cael ei redeg. Rydyn ni’n gwerthfawrogi cydweithredu, cefnogaeth ar y cyd, a byw’n gymunedol 🌿

Ar hyn o bryd rydyn ni’n codi a***n ar gyfer rhywfaint o waith adnewyddu hanfodol, ac rydyn ni’n arbennig o awyddus i glywed gan bobl sy’n gyffrous am gyfrannu eu hamser, eu hegni a’u syniadau i helpu i ofalu am y tŷ a’i wella ochr yn ochr â’r aelodau eraill.

Felly, os ydych chi (neu rywun rydych chi’n ei adnabod) yn hoffi prydau cymunedol heb landlord, ewch i weld mwy o wybodaeth a gwneud cais yma:https://mach.coop/en/join/

—🌱———————🌱————🌱

The Clubbhouse is a cooperatively owned and democratically run home in Machynlleth with two rooms available from 1st June! 🏡

Living here means being part of a small housing co-op: we collectively make decisions about, and share responsibility for how our home is run. We value cooperation, mutual support, and communal living 🌿

We’re currently raising funds for some essential renovation work and are particularly keen to hear from people who are excited about contributing their time, energy, and ideas to help care for and improve the house alongside the other members.

So, if you (or someone you know) like communal meals and not having a landlord then find more info and and apply at https://mach.coop/en/join/
