CoHousing for Independent Living - House Party!

Come join us in Edinburgh for a fun-filled House Party as we explore the world of Cohousing with ImagineIf.

Enjoy music, pizza, and engaging conversations with other families interested in independent living.

Imagine If - a Community Interest Company - have designed a board game to help us think about our living spaces and open up conversations about sharing spaces and creating community resources.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to get involved and have your say!

Frequently asked questions

Who is this event for?

This event is for people with Down's Syndrome and their families who are thinking about independent living.

Will there be other events across Scotland?

So far, this is the only one we have planned. We decided on Edinburgh because when we asked people in our survey about location of future events Edinburgh came out on top. That is not to say we won't be running more events in the future, it just depends on what funding we can secure.

I'm concerned the topic will be too complex for my son/daughter.

We are working closely the team from Imagine If to ensure we create an inclusive, user friendly and most importantly enjoyable experience for everyone. Please be assured it will be a relaxed, no pressure environment. We recognise that a huge part of the event is the importance of families connecting

What happens if I'm running late? How do I let you know?

Don't worry if you're running late; come and join us when you arrive. There is no need to let us know.

Is parking available?

There is local on-street parking. There's also off-street gravel parking area for 6 cars.

Will you be sharing information about housing at the event?

No, it's not that kind of event. The purpose of the event is 1. To get together and share experiences 2. To explore a possible housing future (with the help of the Imagine If board game) 3. To have your say about what's important to you when it comes to housing for people with Down's Syndrome.
