Growing numbers of people are looking for new answers to the question 'where and how will we live in retirement?' One possible answer is that of cohousing, a system that, in other parts of the world, is already providing high-quality accommodation in co-operative, self governing communities that promote staying active and involved in society in later life.

 

Intrigued?

 

Come along to this workshop where you will hear from experts from Newcastle University, The Quality of Life Partnership and Newcastle Elders Council - then have a go at imagining what your cohousing scheme might look like.

 

No drawing sklls are necessary, just an open mind!
