$Newcastle 04 \/ How to run an effective residents\u2019 association$

Part of a series of eight training events to help social housing residents understand their rights and how to stand up for them and get better treatment and services from landlords. Further information about the Four Million Homes programme can be found at fourmillionhomes.org
A residents’ association is a group of people who live in a neighbourhood and decide that they want to get together to deal with issues that affect their local community. The group can include tenants, shared owners, leaseholders and homeowners. This session sets the context and explains why residents’ associations are so important.
This session will cover:
— What is a residents’ association?
— Why have a residents’ association?
— Will a residents’ association be possible where you live?
— What support can you expect from your landlord?
— The roles/responsibilities of resident association committee members; dealing with difficult situations
— What to do next
Session is open to all social housing residents. Tea and cakes will be the provided and there’ll be lots of opportunity to network and share experiences.
A support person is welcome to attend the training with you if needed. Please just let us know via email when you receive the confirmation.
The venue is wheelchair accessible.
