The learning exchange has been two way, the association has gained an invaluable insight into engaging effectively with younger members of the community and a new way of communicating with residents. TEEN Zone members now have a firm knowledge of how funding is secured and how this relates to the outcomes expected. We also now understand how our local housing associations operates and the benefits that local people can bring to local services.

Its great to have your voice heard. Collectively we are learning valuable life skills and building on our knowledge. We have fun and are making positive social connections. It helps us build our CVs and personal statements. We are contributing and making a difference.

We are developing new and innovative ways of communicating with our community. We are broadening our understanding of what is important to local people. We are at the beginning of a journey towards securing successful succession. It is a thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding way of working. We are delivering regeneration projects which are fresh & exciting.
