Five Rivers Cohousing

Five Rivers Cohousing We are a group of local people who want to create affordable cohousing in Sheffield.

Our Mission: To design, build and live in a cohousing project in Sheffield, where everyone has their own private dwelling but with a high degree of cooperation and shared space, costs, facilities and values and with a commitment to reduce our impact on the global climate crisis. Our Vision: Some 15-25 units of various sizes, along with shared facilities such as a Common House with kitchen, room la

rge enough for social and business gatherings, laundry, tools workshop, gardens, energy/heating systems, vehicles and bicycles, etc. We also want it to be multi-generational and multi-affordable, built to as high environmental standards as we can afford and close to public transport.

The Council Parks team have been busy! Overgrown paths have been cleared to make it possible to walk down the steep bank and loop round to the other end of Spider Park. Hopefully park users will be able to enjoy much more of the park now.

With immaculate timing, (straight after Friends of Wisewood and 5 Rivers work on the jennel,) last night's winds have brought down a tree that is now blocking the right of way. Unfortunately it's right between the 2 newly planted clumps of bluebells, so any clearing of the tree may be a problem. Hope they survive...🤞🤞Tree is a hazard so watch yourself if using the jennel. Reported to the council.

Pleased to team up with Friends of WIsewood to work today on the jennel from Spider Park to Dial House Road. Nearly 20 volunteers of all ages helped clear the path of encroaching brambles and nettles, litter picked and planted some spring bulbs. Followed by well earned soup and hot cross buns at Five Rivers. A lovely event. Massive thanks to all who turned out to help.

Some of us had an enjoyable time helping Friends of Wisewood and the Parks Dept plant 20 fruit trees and daffodil bulbs in Spider Park. We were glad to provide refreshments for the 30 volunteers who turned out to help. Hopefully the orchard will be a great resource for the local community of park users for years to come.
