The Snug Collective
At The Snug Collective, we combine exceptional craftsmanship with extraordinary impact. We design and deliver beautifully designed outdoor living or working spaces, built to the highest standards using ethically sourced, sustainable materials, and constructed by teams where experience, precision, and purpose come together.
But here’s what makes an Urban Snug truly different.
Each purchase will help fund the provision of a safe, high-quality modular home for people transitioning out of temporary housing.
That means your garden room doesn’t just improve your lifestyle.
It transforms someone else’s.
Goscombe Homes
After a chance encounter with Gary, a rough sleeper on Eastbourne seafront, Alistair embarked on a mission to raise a deposit on a house for Gary.
Within a few weeks, he had raised enough to purchase four homes — and Goscombe Homes came to life.
The business earned recognition as one of the Most Innovative Businesses of the Year (South East) in both 2017 and 2018.
A decade later, the Goscombe model has provided affordable housing for numerous families, supported by local community networks. Profits have funded vocational training for tenants, providing a springboard into employment and the opportunity get back on their feet—releasing their Goscombe home for another family in need.

MistyClip
MistyClip, a startup launched by a 21-year-old college student during the pandemic, tackled the problem of glasses fogging with face masks by creating an innovative biodegradable clip made using 3D-printing, spent coffee grounds and corn starch.
As the lead investor, Alistair mentored the student through manufacturing and distribution, creating socially conscious business model where profits were reinvested into local charities. In June 2021, after the clip featured on the BBC Business News app, MistyClip sold 16,000 units in 24 hours and gained international attention.
Profits were shared with a Sussex charity supporting the homeless, further solidifying its eco-friendly mission and commitment to social impact.
