Getting involved
Would you like to have more of a say in how we run
things?
You can start by reading
our Involvement Matters booklet .
If you would like us to send you a copy of Involvement Matters,
click here and use our
reply
slip to tell us your name and address.
You can also read how we are getting our residents involved in our
annual statement of resident involvement and how residents are
making a difference in our
resident involvement impact assessment.
Whatever your level of involvement, it will help to make a
difference and improve services for all residents,
everywhere.
Accent Foundation Board
The Accent Foundation Board makes sure that Accent
Foundation's
day-to-day business is properly planned, organised and carried out.
Board members work with residents to influence and improve
services. Three resident board members sit on the Accent Foundation
Board.
Accent Group National Residents' Panel
Our National Residents' Panel is made up of residents from Accent
Foundation, Accent Nene and Accent Peerless. Residents help to
drive improvements across Accent Group, concentrating on shared
issues, such as anti-social behaviour, repairs, lettings and
resident involvement.
Accent Foundation Residents' Panel
Members of the Accent Foundation Residents' Panel help to improve
services for Accent Foundation residents by looking at the policies
and procedures that affect them, and making recommendations for
change to the Accent Foundation Board. The chair of this panel sits
on the Accent Foundation Board.
Please see our main
information and publications page to view and download minutes
from meetings, and other information and leaflets about our
services. You will also find Your Voice here, our quarterly
residents' magazine.
Regular local meetings
These are one-off meetings held to discuss certain
parts of our business.
Residents' Associations
Residents get together to talk about things that
affect their scheme and neighbourhood.
Annual estate and scheme meetings
Each of our schemes and estates has an action plan, which has been
put together based on local priorities and what residents feel is
most important. Residents have the chace to discuss plans and
influence decisions.
Questionnaires and surveys
We carry out surveys often. Residents respond by post or by
telephone.
Scheme walkabouts
We inspect all our schemes regularly to make sure they meet our
standards, and residents are encouraged to take part.
Interested residents
When residents tell us they are interested 9iin getting involved,
we keep their contact details on a list so that when opportunities
for involvement come along, we can invite them to take part.
If you are interested in getting involved in any
way, please contact our resident involvement team on 01274 717 500.
A member of the team will ring you right back.
