About the Organisation
Lemon Leopard is part of Charitable Community Benefit Society, Safari Sanctuary, which aims to create a more equitable society. Initially founded by a group of academics in 2016 and formally established in 2020, Safari Sanctuary brings together the collective imagination of people and organisations across a range of sectors, industries and workplaces.
They support marginalised people (specifically young people) to access our services. We do this through a number of cross cutting projects, including Safari Folklore, their live music venue providing free cultural and creative practice, and Safari Nosh our micro equitable food van where young people are provided with training and work experience. They also provide a safe harbour for young people fleeing their families and who fall in between gaps in local statutory provision.
They are on a journey to create a new kind of cohousing scheme based on Equitable Living Practice, aiming to develop the UK’s first permanent Living Equitable Community – an enhanced co-housing scheme for marginalised people. This will include a ‘Democratic Common House’, which acts as an extension to peoples’ homes where they can come together to support one another, socialise, and share skills and experiences as members of a collaborative care community.
Request details
Lemon Leopard have located a building which they would like to obtain a mortgage against to create accommodation to house young people.
As a result, they are in need of support to obtain a RICS survey to work out the market value of the property. This will support them in making an offer.
