Welcome to the Coventry Peace House Website

 

Coventry Peace House is a housing co-operative and a peace and environmental centre dedicated to peace in the world and working actively towards it. In January 1999  we bought a row of 6 derelict houses (with help from Triodos bank and from friends) and have been working on them ever since. 5 of them are now connected and comprise two houses for the co-op kitchen and living room, 2 houses for community activities and nestling in between is Coventry Cycling Centre.

We are not connected to any religious group or political party.

We are a member of Radical Routes - a secondary co-op made up of 40 housing and worker co-ops all working for radical social change (web@radicalroutes.org.uk)

 

Coventry Peace House Housing Co-operative is an industrial and provident society registration number 28762R and covers all our housing co-op issues.
