A Residents’ Association, or Community Association, is a group of people who live in the same area. They work together to represent the views of all the households. This can help make their neighbourhood a better place to live.
A Residents' Association can sometimes achieve more than an individual. They can help to solve issues in the area and can raise funds to improve local facilities, such as community gardens or play areas.
If you're interested in setting up a new Residents' Association in your area you can contact our Housing Equalities and Engagement Facilitator for advice. We can also help you:
- find training to address issues affecting local residents
- apply for a support grant to help with costs such as meeting room hire, newsletters and stationery
