What is Enlinca?
We are a group of people living in or near Cambridge who are exploring options and possibilities of forming a Cohousing community. We have been meeting monthly since mid-2000 during which time we have got to know one another and clarified our ideas on Cohousing. We have also visited a number of existing communities elsewhere in the UK, and this has helped give shape to our vision. We were officially incorporated as a company limited by guarantee on 1st August 2003.
What is Cohousing?
Cohousing is about a group of households choosing to live close together and share additional facilities for mutual benefit. Each household has its own completely self-contained dwelling and has access to communal facilities.
Cohousing is not "communal living" or another word for "commune", but a community build to facilitate the cooperation of neighbours. It is already well established in Denmark, the USA and the Netherlands although relatively new in the UK. There are a few established schemes and many groups in the process of starting.
Our vision
Our wish is to live as sustainably as we can, with a strong sense of community and mutual support, ensuring individual privacy and need for space while sharing some communal facilities. You can read more in our full Vision Document.
