Get involved

We know many of you share our commitment to making local communities GREAT places to live and there are lots of ways you can get involved and contribute.

Meetings aren’t for everyone and whether you’d prefer a community walkabout with your Neighbourhood Officer or to be an armchair critic from the comfort of your own home, we have options! 

No matter your age, background or where you live - if you have something to offer we want to hear fom you. We’ll provide any support, equipment or training you might need.


Enter your details here and we’ll get back to you with more information. You'll also find more information in your Tenant Handbook.


How can I get involved? 


There are a number of ways you can get involved – from something as simple as sending in a satisfaction survey after a repairs visit, all the way through to joining our Management Committee.

We want you to feel comfortable about getting involved, which is why we have a number of options for you to choose from... 

Estate walkabouts

Taking part in an estate walkabout is a great way for you to help our Neighbourhood Officers understand the needs and priorities of your area.

Our Neighbourhood Officers are out and about in our communities regularly, so why not take the opportunity to chat with them and share your thoughts or ideas. If you aren’t able to catch up with your Neighbourhood Officer while they are in your area, you can still get in touch with them directly to organise a date and time that suits you.

Surveys and consultations

Throughout the year we conduct a variety of consultations and surveys - these are a quick and easy way for you to get involved and share your views. Some examples are:

  • Rent Consultation
    Each year we conduct a mandatory Rent Consultation where we seek the views of our tenants on the rent proposals for the new financial year. This is a great way for you to learn about what our plans are for spending on improvements, new services, planned maintenance and what any new proposed rent level may be.
  • Repairs satisfaction survey
    You can have a say on our repairs service by completing the text message survey we send to you after your repairs appointment. Your feedback will help us to manage the repairs service more effectively.

The feedback from these surveys really does help us to make improvements and let us know what is working well. Don’t forget you can always let us know your thoughts on anything at anytime by using our online contact form, chat with us via Live Chat, or by sending us a direct message via social media.
