Goscombe Homes is a business with a social conscience which seeks to alleviate homelessness by providing good quality privately-managed housing for couples or families who have fallen on hard times due to displacement or financial hardship. The business has successfully rolled out in Eastbourne and is currently expanding to other towns across the UK through partnerships with a number of charities and community groups. Properties are purchased using the concept of collective community funding via an innovative online platform which provides the option of making a charitable donation or a more formal investment* under the Social Investment Tax Relief scheme. *As an alternative to donating money to charity, investors commit their cash to Goscombe Homes for charitable purposes but with the potential of getting their capital back after a fixed term with interest, all backed by tangible property assets.
