Who we are
One charity. One mission. Everything under one roof.
Common Wealth Common Ground is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation being registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
We run the CommonGround community platform, the heating programme for people in fuel poverty, and community funds in every local area. As donations grow, we establish County Land Trusts — gifting land to communities for Sanctuary Farms held in trust for the people of that county.
We operate a strict 1:3 pay ratio. The highest paid person earns no more than three times the lowest. Published openly. Non-negotiable.
The land
Donations fund Sanctuary Farms — one per county. Food forests, healing spaces, homeless recovery centres, and sites of worship held in trust for the people of that county.
The heating programme
Local welders and fabricators build safe oil heaters for elderly people who can't afford to heat their homes. Community funded. Locally built. A carbon monoxide alarm with every installation.
The community
Timebanks, food banks, Men's Sheds, WI groups, churches, housing associations — all welcome as partners. Their members. Their communities. One platform.
What we are working toward.
- Nobody cold.
- Nobody hungry.
- Nobody without shelter.
- Nobody without community.
- Land held for everyone.
- Communities governing themselves.
These are not slogans. They are the measures by which we judge everything we do. Every heater installed, every Sanctuary Farm acquired, every Kindness exchanged moves us closer.
