Tenant involvement
We want tenants to help us shape our housing service by getting involved. You choose how you can get involved and how much time you can offer.
Your feedback and ideas helps us get things right. Even if you have had a negative experience, telling us about it helps us improve our services for others.
Panels and groups
Help us make sure our priorities match yours by joining our:
- tenant advisory panel - meets every third Thursday of the month, from 12:30pm to 3:30pm to review performance, policies and new initiatives with a guest speaker (lunch and travel expenses provided)
- tenant scrutiny group - ensures the quality of services, they conduct regular reviews and make recommendations for improvements
- focus groups - from time to time we host 1-hour sessions with a group of 6 to 10 tenants to ask your opinions
- meetings and conferences - get involved in events, meet ups, conferences, networking or training events
- representing tenants locally and nationally - act of behalf of all tenants, for example in our sheltered housing or on a particular estate
If you want to join one of our panels or groups, complete our registration form and let us know what interests you.
Neighbourhood associations
Neighbourhood associations are a great way to improve your area on an ongoing basis. You can apply for funding and set up a formal group.
Small grants are available to neighbourhood associations as well as tenant and resident associations. You can also get support with training your committee, fundraising, meetings and more.
Sheltered accommodation
We want to know your views on what would work best for you and what interests you.
We sent a short questionnaire to every sheltered tenant at the end of 2023. Now that we have collected your ideas, we will plan a consultation event for early 2024 to start the conversation and get things moving.
Estate walkabouts
Estate walkabouts take place on a quarterly basis and give tenants the opportunity to come along and let us know about any issues or areas of concern (e.g fly-tipping or graffiti).
They are coordinated by your Neighbourhood team.
Tell us what you think
Become involved from the comfort of your own home, at a time that is convenient for you.
