On the Brink Co-Housing, Leeds, UK

Our membership is now up to full strength (20 adults and six young people). We have been
joined by Linda and Adrian who will be moving into flat 4 in the New Year - after all the
building work is completed. It’s a fantastic scoop for On the Brink that they are joining us
from Leeds. They have an impeccable
background of decades of sustained
community development work and their

energy, skill and enthusiasm will be much
welcomed here.

During various stages of lockdown and
going through tiers of Covid control so
far the weather has been kind and many
meetings and activities have been held in
the garden. There’s been regular dancing
on the lawn or in the courtyard and meals
and birthday celebrations etc. have been
held al fresco. We’re doing our best to
keep safe and cheerful.
We’ve now got a super gazebo in the courtyard to give an opportunity for some social

interaction while keeping safe...

The young people on site are our beating heart. It’s such a treat to have each and every one
of them contribute to our community in their special ways. If it takes a village to bring up a
child then the
opposite is certainly
true. What sort of
‘village’ would this be
without them? For
the reasons that you

will certainly respect
we don’t take many
photos of them or put
their pictures in the
newsletter or on
social media... But
they are very much
here and we wish you
could see them
growing up and
enriching our lives.
