Glastonbury Festival founder Michael Eavis has donated land on his Worthy Farm estate, plus cash, to build 52 green social homes.
The initiative comes on the back of the National Housing Federation’s recent assessment of housing need in England, which revealed almost two million children live in unaffordable or unsuitable homes, 4.2 million people are in need of social housing, and that overcrowding affects 3.7 million people.
The new homes will take the total number he has helped to build to 52. And the land donation comes with a caveat that it must be used for social housing in perpetuity.
Bravo!
