Coin Street Community Builders

Inclusive Housing & Public Space

Coin Street Community Builders is a social enterprise that aims to make their neighbourhood a great place to live in, work in, and visit. They have transformed a largely derelict 13 acre site into a thriving mixed use neighbourhood by creating new co-operative homes; shops, galleries, restaurants, cafes and bars; a park and riverside walkway; sports facilities; by organising festivals and events; and by providing childcare, family support, training and employment opportunities. Income is generated with a variety of sources including the hire of retail and catering spaces, exhibition, event and conference spaces.
