Make-a-difference days
These are one off days that join together local residents, staff and other organisations we work with to clean up neighbourhoods and talk about local issues.
Events and projects
We can work with you to organise a fun day, a trip or a longer project.
Walkabouts
Tell us what you think of your area and what we can improve on by joining us on our estate walkabouts with your local housing officer.
Focus groups
Come along to a group session with other residents to give your views and ideas for one of our services.
Tenants and residents groups
Groups are a great way to get things done. Here at PCH we support residents to set up and successfully run different types of groups.
To be a successful group it is important to know what type of group you would like to be. To help you decide, simply check the guidelines below.
Your group does not have to be supported by PCH but there are some benefits to you if it is.
First, you should decide with it is your group is hoping to do...
We have some problems we would like to solve
Maybe you don't need a group. Initially you could talk to your Housing Officer or Councillor or join Neighbourhood Watch.
We want to get people together for social activities
We would recommend a Social Group with Principles. This is an informal group structure with everyone helping out.
We want to make positive changes in our community
We would recommend that you become a Constituted Group. This is a formal group with a Chairperson, a Secretary and Treasurer. You will need to have regular meetings and keep the minutes of those meetings. You will need to vote in the committee members.
We would like more of a say in PCH's services
We have a range of opportunities for both groups and individuals to get involved with PCH. If you would like to know more then look through our other involvement options.
If you're not sure or if people have different opinions then we will be happy to meet with you to talk more about it.
We also have resources to help you with your group - information, templates, support and training.
Contact the Communities Team on 0808 230 6500.
