post-office

VISION

post-office is a registered cooperative and community based in physical space.

We're a shared world beyond work and a place to make full democratic use of: whether to work, meet, host, or just hang out. We like to say:

If you're a member of post-office,
the space is yours as much as ours,
and ours as much as yours.
A testing ground for sharing resources.
A possible society at community scale.
A prototype of collective futures.

PRINCIPLES

Explore our continuously evolving principles on how we operate as a common pool resource.

MEMBERSHIP

We’re always open to new members! It’s €40 a month (inc VAT) and always cancellable.

Members become members via existing members, so if you happen to know one ask them to introduce you to the space.

You can also visit on Public Fridays or just email us for a visit.
