"What an amazing purpose built 6 flats where we are able to support 2 single men who were in temporary accommodation. The other 4 flats are managed by Greenwhich Council"

Michael Adekoya, Manager, Gilgal

How they were built

Green Pastures' first new build project houses 8 people who were at risk of homelessness in these 6 flats. Since 2009 Green Pastures has collaborated with Greenwich council to allocate tenants to the properties and to provide support where required.

The building has been designed to a high standard providing Code 3 energy efficient homes. This has a significant positive impact on their monthly bills.

We also constructed two 3-bed houses either side of the flats that were sold on the open market.

Impact on community

This project is providing homes for 24 people on a previously derelict site, creating jobs and improving the area.
