We’ve had a busy 2024: Delivering 6 projects, made up of 26 affordable homes, one school, a robotics laboratory, three holiday homes, and a cancer care centre for Stoke Mandeville hospital. And we built them on slopes, on top of stilts, in carparks, on rooftops and even some on flat ground! We have also innovated like mad, inventing Carbon and Social Value Trades and readied the Captivate platform to sell them. We fired up CLiCs , our Centre for Low and Innovative Carbon Solutions, worked with 12 RoTL colleagues, one of whom joined us as a permanent employee! We adopted a couple of feisty cats and won an Esmée Fairbairn Foundation and Farm491 Challenge prize! Our next Radical Housing Conference is on January 24th!

Congratulations, to our inaugural Farm491 Challenge winner, RegenFarmCo, and runner up, Agile Homes, who secured £50,000 and £25,000 respectively to develop their innovative mixed land use products.
