Housing: Regional Networks autumn newsletter

We want you to join us!

We currently have a number of vacancies on our Regional Network committees and we would love to hear from interested tenant and resident volunteers who are part of an RTO or landlord-recognised group, and who would like to join us in representing the views and priorities of tenants, residents and communities throughout Scotland.

As we all know, so many of us are experiencing challenges in our day-to-day lives at the moment as we come out of the Covid pandemic, with increased energy prices and costs of living. We need to make sure that tenants and residents from all areas of Scotland have the opportunity to participate in the conversation about these issues, and the things that matter to us. Arguably, there has never been a more important time to contribute our views on the issues that affect us and our communities.
