A tenant’s viewpoint

Our Together with Tenants Charter has now officially launched

The charter is a series of commitments that have been developed by listening and working together with you, and other tenants, to make a difference and create services that are personcentred, inclusive, and work.

Tenant Helen Wild, 60, has been involved with the Together with Tenants Charter from the start and shares her perspective on its impact.

Helen said:

The Together with Tenants Charter will be a golden thread running through the whole organisation’s work. It will connect all the tenant groups and will help hold ForHousing accountable – the Charter will help make sure what our landlord says they’ll do gets done.

Our new approach to Scrutiny

Tenant scrutiny means you will be able to review what we do and why we do it, influencing what happens to your home and community, and putting you at the heart of our decision making.

You can get involved from as little as 10 minutes to, two days per month, whatever suits you. Be the voice of your community, make things happen and RAISE IT. Have a say in shaping our delivery of services, together we can make a difference.
