The purpose of this guide is to help you through the practical steps to setting up and running an effective residents group for your community. The advice this book offers should be tailored to what suits your community.
Liaising with other local groups and community organisations will provide information and experience that cannot be contained in a written guide. Also getting in touch with them will ensure that your group is seen to be active in your local community. You may also encourage some new members. Think about liaising with luncheon clubs, mother and toddler groups, youth clubs, schools and different ethnic community groups.
Getting a residents group going can be hard work but it is worth the effort and Sentinel Housing Association will support you with practical help and advice.
We hope to keep this guide as up-to-date and as useful as possible. If after using it you can identify any additional information needed or changes please let us know.
Remember: Have fun while you are doing it!
