  Would you like to be more involved?

  We are always looking for new members/volunteers, you do not need to have any qualifications and there is no age barrier. We have both evening and daytime meetings so any commitment that you could offer would be welcome. Some of the personal benefits would be helping your own community, making new friends and gaining valuable skills and experience. Please contact us if you would like to find out more about tenant participation or if you would like advice and information on setting up your own Resident's Association.
