CDS Co-operatives

What we do

In 2025, CDS turns 50. We have always been about community-led housing – so that more people can shape the things that matter to them – and that’s just as true today as it was in 1975. This strategy is our promise to you for the next 18 months based on the feedback you’ve given us over the past year. Most of your comments were positive and we’re glad you have good experiences with us. We’re focusing here on those that were negative so we can learn from them to make things better.

You’ll find four promises we want to achieve to improve our services based on what you’ve told us is important. They are also designed to build a strong foundation for how you can influence what we do and how we do it in the years to come.

We are looking for a group of residents to help us deliver on the promises made in the strategy and make real improvements. Simply email talktous@cds.coop if you would like to get involved. We really value your input and can’t wait to work with you.
