Greener Living
The CCH is working in partnership with Co-operatives UK and the Plunkett Foundation to deliver the Greener Together project. This project is funded by Defra - the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs as part of their Greener Living Fund.
[Update 04-08-2010] The CCH Annual Conference was a major milestone in the Greener Together project and was of great value to all those in the housing co-op movement with an interest in greener living. [Conference Briefing]
