Last month, we held our first ever Involved Tenant Away Day, bringing together our three involvement groups to discuss the ways we can continue to work together to more positively impact your lives and to keep you at the heart of our decision making.
The groups in attendance at the Involved Tenant Away Day were; Community Voice, Scrutiny and the Customer Committee.
The Customer Committee is made up of ten ForHousing tenants and community members that were selected from a group of over 140 people.
The committee members work together with the ForHousing board to co-create services that matter to you and your community.
By using their experience and knowledge of local issues, the Customer Committee help us make positive changes within your community and work towards our shared vision of improving lives.
We currently have three Community Voice groups, in Salford, Oldham and Knowsley.
Members work together to represent their community by identifying issues and discovering solutions so we can support everyone to feel safe and comfortable, both in and outside their homes.
Community Voice is open to all because we truly want to hear from everyone who lives in your area about how we can help make your community a better place to live and thrive – whether you’re a ForHousing tenant or not, you can work with us to make a difference.
Community Voice also helps to allocate the Community Fund budget, a pot of money used to financially support local groups and projects, making your community a great place to live.
The Scrutiny Panel independently reviews our services based on feedback we’ve had from you and your community.
The panel makes recommendations and then works closely with us to agree how we can improve what we do so you have the best experience possible, every time.
The panel meet four times a year, but they regularly meet up online, and complete work independently outside of these meetings.
We want you to be involved in making decisions that impact your community, big or small. This helps us to find out the areas where we need to do better – and what is most important to you.
