Community

“Being a property guardian with Dot Dot Dot means you do more than simply live somewhere. Instead, because you volunteer you really become part of the community. The best bit is knowing you’ve made a difference and have had a positive impact on those around you.”

Local people have been very positive. They like the fact an empty building in their neighbourhood is being used again and is being maintained.

I feel strongly connected with my guardian neighbours. I am getting to know other parts of the community too, through my volunteering.

“As a property guardian with Dot Dot Dot I save £450 per month compared with what I used to pay on rent – that’s a significant difference.”

“Being a guardian gives me the freedom to do good, invest time in work I believe in and be part of a fascinating community. It’s a no-brainer.”

“Dot Dot Dot has been a perfect springboard to the city.”

“It’s a really cool place – I can use it to work in like an office, and there’s already a great community.”

“There’s an instant community feel here which is great. Looking forward to organising movie nights and board games nights with the other guardians.”

“Once I knew that everyone was up for 16 hours of volunteering a month, I felt pretty confident they’d be great, considerate housemates, and they are.”

“I love the idea that you are part of a community in such a large city. I like the fact we are allowed to be creative with the decoration of the flat and getting involved with local charities is something which I have missed doing over the last few years.”
