Update (Aug 2025): we were looking for housemates but the deadline for applying has now passed.

If you are interested in becoming a part of Anarres, make sure you’ve read through everything on this page, and browsed the rest of the posts and pages on this site. You should also read the aims & principles of the Radical Routes network, of which Anarres is a member co-op. By the way, if you join Anarres, then you automatically become a member of Radical Routes, too (and will be obligated to carry out its work)!

Important information

Our current plan is to eco-renovate our property in East Bristol. Whilst we all value our autonomy and privacy, we want to try and live as communally as possible. This includes shared meals, social activities, and regular meetings to make collective decisions, and ensure we share out household tasks equitably.

Anarres isn’t just a house, so you’ll have to be OK with (and ideally enthusiastic about), sometimes sharing the communal areas of your home with local projects and travelling activists!

We’ve done our best to keep our rent as genuinely affordable as possible, whilst ensuring that the co-op is financially viable. Our rents are in line with local benefit rates, are negotiable based on need/ability to pay, and we will not discriminate based on income or employment, nor on ability.
