National Involvement Week 10-14 November

We’re proud to support Tpas Involvement Week on 10-14 November, celebrating the positive difference that tenant involvement makes to communities, services, and people’s lives.

Tpas, the tenant engagement experts, are running a series of free online events with a different theme each day. You can read more about what's on and book your place using the links below. We’ll also be sharing some of our own local stories and the activity of the engagement team throughout the week, as well as launching some fantastic new involvement opportunities for current tenants and leaseholders.
