A big thanks to all who joined our event at the @libdems.org.uk conference, especially our speakers Alison Ward, @tweeteco.bsky.social,
@gideonamos.bsky.social, @vmmchamberlain.bsky.social

We had a thoughtful discussion together, exploring exciting possibilities & most importantly, solutions!

Four people - three men and a woman - stand at the front of a room behind some chairs. They are all smiling at the camera. Behind them a screen reads ' Unlocking the potential of SME developers and community-led housing to solve the housing crisis.'

We have just submitted a planning application for 14 new homes & Common House for Halton Senior CoHousing group, but this one is a little different!
We call these homes Tam, and they can move!

Dear @nataliegreenpeer.bsky.social
This might be of interest to you.
We’re bringing a new finance flow to the delivery of low-Carbon affordable homes.
We call it Carbon and Social Value Trading.

In the past two years, with surprisingly little notice, renewable energy has suddenly become the obvious, mainstream, cost-efficient choice around the world.

4.6 Billion Years On, the Sun Is Having a Moment

In the past two years, without much notice, solar power has begun to truly transform the world’s energy system.

It’s hot! 🥵
Living in a straw bale home in this weather would be crazy, right?
Wrong!
Straw changes its moisture content in sync with its environment.
As it does this, there is heat exchange at a cellular level within the fabric of the straw itself!
It keeps you cool in summer & warm in winter!

Schumacher said ‘Small is Beautiful - economics as if people mattered’
At Agile we agree but with a subtle difference! Instead we say:
Small is Beautiful - housing as if people & nature mattered!
And it turns out others agree!

The UK Enterprise Investment Scheme gives investors tax relief, no Capital Gains on exit & is Inheritance Tax free!
It is great for the investor, but more importantly, it supports innovative start-ups!
As we turn six, it has given us the rocket fuel to deliver low-carbon affordable homes quickly!

With perfect timing on the same day Rachel Reeves announced £39 bn for new homes, we signed an agreement for a significant investment. I’d like to say we planned this with the Chancellor, but I can’t! Instead it’s a synchronicity win!
The investment comes with a £25 m fund to pay to build new homes!

Our name is Agile Homes & here’s why!
This is 1 home, but in 2 different locations. We recently moved it from Bristol, where it was part of the We Can Make Homes project. It’s now near Gloucester & is a permanent home for a young man in need of specialised supported living.
