More about this community share issue

Mustard Seed Property (MSP) has launched an exciting new share offer, which seeks to raise funds to develop additional housing that will provide urgent support for vulnerable adults in Cornwall.

The latest share offer follows the previous successful raise of £610,000 in 2020, which enabled MSP to acquire and refurbish a property in Newquay. This property is let to the Newquay Lighthouse Project CIC and houses up to eleven men recovering from addiction.

MSP is currently completing the re-development works on its third property in Redruth. These works are expected to be completed in September 2023 and the property will then be let to United Response to house, and Karrek Community to support, five autistic adults with learning disabilities and mental health needs.

This time MSP is looking to raise £1.8 million from individuals and organisations to:

1. Repay short-term debt used for the development of MSP's third property in Redruth; and

2. Buy and refurbish the next two properties urgently needed by MSP’s social enterprise and charity partners in Cornwall.

Now is a great time to invest, because if you invest before 30 September you will qualify to start earning interest from 1 October 2023. The offer is on the Ethex investment platform, and full details and how to apply can be found by following the links.
