🗞 ‘We have brothers, sons, lovers – but they can’t live here!’ The happy home shared by 26 women
In our event last week on “living considerations for solo-agers”, we dived into a lively discussion on co-housing. Check out a recent article by The Guardian on New Ground, the UK’s first co-housing community exclusive for older women (thanks Rose for sharing!)

💊 Free Medicare Consultation with Keen
