Let us know what your community thinks

One of the most powerful ways to share your views and make a difference in vour community is to get together with like-minded neighbours, and form either a resident group or a Tenant and Resident Association (TRA).

Resident groups are typically groups of people who come together to work with us to address any service issues you might have.

TRAs are like resident groups but have a more formal structure that allows them to access funding from us and other organisations.

Deciding which one might suit you best depends on what your goals are, and how much admin you're happy to do.
