Get involved
So that we continue to improve our services in a positive way for our customers, neighbourhoods and communities, we invite you to get involved and have your say.
You can spend as much or as little time getting involved as you like and it doesn’t matter what experience or skills you have, you can get involved in a variety of different things; from taking part in a focus groups, to online surveys or even becoming a customer on one of our groups or a committee member.
Your feedback helps us to understand what you expect from us, so we can shape and monitor our services to suit your needs.
There are a number of ways you can get involved, have your say, and make a real difference to your services and where you live.
If you’ve seen something, you’d like to get involved with then we’d love to hear from you.

The purpose is to discuss trends arising out of complaints, satisfaction surveys and other feedback every quarter and scrutinise how we use this information to apply our learning.
There is also opportunity to get involved in task and finish groups when areas of service have been identified to look into more closely and help inform service improvements.
This group meets to review and scrutinise operational performance for services across the organisation. This provides a platform to constructively challenge and identify areas of good performance and where we could be doing better.
Customers will receive surveys to tell us how satisfied they are with the services they have received such as following a repair completed or moving into their new home.
Completing one of our short surveys provides useful insight to help us to deliver great services and make improvements when identified to meet your needs.
You can provide us with your feedback by letting us know your thoughts in a comment, compliment or complaint. See our Comments, complaints and compliments page for more information.

This has come at a really good time just when we needed it. The house is perfect with two bedrooms – we wouldn’t have been able to afford it without the shared ownership scheme.
