Showcase Event

Showcase Event: 19th September 2009
A showcase event, led by tenants, took place at New Charter Housing Trust in September 2009.

All the usual popular events were available to try, including face painting, rock climbing and entertainment from clowns for the children. The day also included workshops designed to help residents achieve colourful hanging baskets and demonstrations on how to grow your own vegetables. All these workshops were designed and run by residents.

The Tenant Management Team (TMT) held workshops, to explain to tenants and residents what we are all about. We explained what our aims and objectives were and how this would benefit not only tenants, but also to show that working together will benefit all, including New Charter Housing Trust.

As well as being able to show the benefits that TMTs’ work can bring, the workshops also gave TMT the opportunity to promote Resident Involvement with New Charter.

This led to TMT holding information sessions, where we held “informal chats”, for those who showed an interest in getting involved.

From this TMT have welcomed three new members to their team and introduced other prospective tenants who showed an interest in alternative areas of involvement.

Overall the Showcase event was a success. Both the Tenant Participation Team at New Charter together with residents worked very hard to achieve this event. Hats off to all involved.

The Tenant Management Team: “working together to make a difference.”
