Resident Involvement

We play a vital role in building thriving neighbourhoods. But to truly reflect the needs and voices of the 
communities we serve, we need residents like you to get involved and work with us.

Our resident groups offer unique opportunities to:

  • Influence decisions that affect your home and community. 
  • Ensure residents’ voices are heard and influence at different 
    levels. 
  • Make a real impact on our policies, standards, and community 
    initiatives.
  • Work alongside staff and other residents to improve and shape 
    our services.
  • Gain valuable experience of teamwork and decision making

 

No Experience? No Problem! 

We welcome residents from all walks of life. Whether you’re a long-time resident or new to the area, your lived experience is invaluable. We’ll support you in this process, so you’ll never feel out of your depth.
