Communications…
Look out for our improved notice boards where you will
find the latest information on the Masterplan including feedback
from our regular surgeries and different ways to be involved. You
can also sign up for our text messaging service where you will
receive regular updates by text. If you would like to sign up for
this service please contact Corinna Dale on 0300 777 7777 or at Corinna.dale@traffordhousingtrust.co.uk
Getting Involved…
If you are a resident within one of the tower blocks and
you would like to display information in the notice boards, please
contact you neighbourhood partner Steve Birrs at steve.birrs@traffordhousingtrust.co.uk
Trafford Housing Trust is planning to introduce
'block reps'. The idea is Block Reps will be the link between the
Trust and residents to ensure that any information provided is
relevant and up to date and also give feedback to us. Being
involved will also offer opportunities for people that would like
to receive some training and learn new skills. You need not live in
a tower block to be part of this group.
This opportunity would be perfect for somebody who has a
few hours a month free and is able to express the concerns of their
neighbours as well as their own. Full training will be provided on
supporting neighbours, supporting vulnerable tenants, how to manage
queries and health and safety. This is something really positive to
add to your cv, good experience will be gained and is also a chance
to get out and meet more people within your community.
The short term objectives for Block Reps is to play a key
role in ensuring that the communication surrounding the Masterplan
is relevant to tenants. The long term aim is for the Reps to be
involved in helping to create a better community, bringing people
together, running small projects and being involved in the overall
design of our estates.
If you would like to be involved in this exciting
opportunity we are still looking for people to volunteer. No
previous experience or knowledge is required. The only thing we
would ask is that you are committed to making your community a
better place to live, are willing to consider other residents views
and ideas and can commit to approximately 6 hours per month. These
hours can be decided by each individual and can be very
flexible.
For more information or to register an interest in this
opportunity please contact Corinna Dale on 0300 777 7777 or corinna.dale@traffordhousingtrust.co.uk
