Invest

In the autumn of 2024, Ecovillage Findhorn CBS orchestrated a 'community buy-in', issuing £236,000 in 5% Bonds to community members, who invested from £100 to £25,000. We truly appreciate the support of all our investors, thank you.

Our Bonds were created for us by Wrigley's, the UK's leading co-operative and community benefit society lawyers. With the help of a large 10-year 5% loan of £100,000, plus other smaller loans, this enabled Ecovillage Findhorn CBS to purchase two large areas of land and buildings at The Park Ecovillage from the Findhorn Foundation Trust.

EF CBS is currently involved in collaborative talks with other Park-based organisations, regarding the remaining assets that the Findhorn Foundation Trust intends to gift or sell as it winds up the Trust. These talks are being facilitated by an external facilitator, Community Enterprise, who was chosen by the parties to the talks and funded by the FF. You can read our preliminary paper regarding how Ecovillage Findhorn sees its future role at The Park Ecovillage here.

As with any new venture, Ecovillage Findhorn will need working capital if it is to take on more assets and upgrade and run them successfully. Your help in this is gratefully appreciated by investing by donation here.

The areas of land to be transferred are shown in the map on the left, and comprise Central Area West, Cullerne Gardens, Pineridge and the Findhorn Bay Holiday Park.

Estate services (comprising the low voltage network, water supply and sewerage, are also in the process of being transferred by New Findhorn Directions Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Findhorn Foundation Trust) into community ownership.

With all this going on and so much ‘up in the air’ at the moment, it is both an exciting and challenging time at The Park Ecovillage. Our future rests on the community’s belief in and vision for itself, and in our confidence that in spite of all the challenges of the last 5 years, we are well-placed to remain as a beacon for different ways of living in harmony and co-creation with all that sustains us.

Come visit us soon to see how this is all happening!
