Do you want to be more involved in how we do things?
Do you have a spare day here and there?
We need you to be more actively involved in what we are doing so that we can make sure that are providing all residents with the sort of service you expect from us. This is your chance to take a look at some of the areas of our business and make a real difference to the areas where you live.

Scrutiny panel members – we are looking for people who can give an evening once every three months to give us feedback about our services and how we can improve them. It is also a chance for you come with new ideas for service and community activities.
Residents green team – we are going green and we need residents to help us with ideas and feedback about anything you are doing to improve the environment. This is going to be a big area for us in 2010 and this is your chance to get involved at the beginning.
Interviewing new employees – we would like residents to help us interview new employees to help us make sure we are getting the right people to provide your services. If you have experience of interviewing or would like to find out how, this is for you! Everyone will receive training in how to carry out interviews.
Community chest steering group – In the last edition of Link we advertised our new community chest fund to provide money for community activities and projects. Now we would like to involve residents in deciding which groups or projects should get a grant. If you would like to help us choose the best projects for funding get in touch now.
Link editorial panel – to help make sure Link includes the things you want to know about we are setting up an editorial panel and we need residents to help us make your newsletter even more interesting. If you have a flair for design or creative writing this could be the opportunity for you.
