Update About SCD
As you may have seen from recent updates about the Stirchley Co-operative Development, things have become a bit more complicated than anyone had hoped, with ongoing discussions about the future of the building and what that means for the co-ops involved, including us. We’re working on finding a way through this, and we’ll keep sharing updates as things develop. You can read more via the SCD blog if you’d like the fuller picture: https://www.stirchley.coop/blog/

In the meantime, we just want to say a huge thank you for the incredible support you’ve shown us through our crowdfunder since this situation came to light. We really couldn’t be riding this very unsteady wave without all of your support!
