What is a QR code?

A QR code (quick response code) is a unique bar code (or two-dimensional code), which can be read by a QR bar code reader on a smartphone. Many phone suppliers have online ‘marketplaces’ which provide free QR code reader applications. By using the application to scan the QR code in this leaflet you can access a link to our Learn for Free web page.

Looking at new ways to be involved?

Your views shape how we work at Plymouth Community Homes. You’re invited to come along to our city-wide tour to look at the many different ways you can be involved and tell us what you think.

The tour will run from 7-18 July 2014 and, as you will see from the chart below, will cover most areas of the city. Look out for Trevor the Trailer or Gail the Gazebo in your area. On the tour will be your local Housing Officer and other PCH staff who are looking forward to seeing you.
