W E S S E X C O M M U N I T Y A S S E T S is a social enterprise that provides support to organisations building a green and inclusive economy, with a particular focus on affordable housing, local food systems, community renewables and employment workspace. Wessex pioneered the development of community shares as a financial mechanism, and manages one of the UK’s largest programmes of support for community led housing. It is seeking to link together the creation and management of sustainable woodland, the development of secondary processing capacity for timber and “woody” fibres, and the use of local materials in the construction of affordable housing.
A R T S D E V E L O P M E N T C O M P A N Y is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

It believes that by exploring how historic and contemporary vernacular emerges from the particularity of places, and that the process of identifying and working with local materials can strengthen community resilience and enable us to live more sensitively with nature.
