Your Housing, Your Community

Are you proud of where you live? Do you want to be part of your local community?

Then get involved in your neighbourhood and help us to make Nehemiah Housing and our communities the very best.

You can use your involvement to help improve the local area around your housing scheme, as an opportunity to discuss an issue or concern you have about your community, or simply to enjoy being out and meeting new people in your community.

Community Involvement For The Benefit Of All

There are many ways to get involved in your local community and work with us to maintain the high standards of our grounds, buildings and local areas, and form friendships along the way.

Our opportunities to get involved and help to shape Nehemiah housing and communities, are advertised on our website. If you’d like to find out more about how you can get involved, please contact our Community Partnership & Engagement Officer, Marcia Cunnison, by emailing Marcia.Cunnison@nehemiah.co.uk or by calling 07739 705 048 or 0121 358 8030.  

It is straightforward to get involved.

We offer training and assistance where needed, as well as payment to cover any travel costs you incur or help to arrange transport.

You can get involved in different ways and we are grateful for any time you can give. Maybe you would like to take part in person or you may prefer to complete one of our surveys or feedback requests – maybe you can commit to just a small amount of time or perhaps 2-3 hours every month.

Whichever way you choose to get involved and help us to grow, we welcome your input.

Choose Your Level Of Commitment

There are many opportunities for involvement and you can choose the one that works for you.

Come along to one of our regular walkabouts with your Housing Officer, and you can enjoy a nice walk around your neighbourhood. The walks are a great opportunity to identify any issues or potential problems that need to be tackled in the local area as well as to discuss any concerns you have about your home or tenancy. To find out more about our walkabouts and to join in, visit our Estate Walkabouts page.

Together, we can tackle any issues and create actions for areas in need of improvement.

You can help us to promote all we do at one of our Nehemiah Open Days or events.

By joining this group, you can help us to manage the application of activities and performance targets outlined in our Customer Engagement Strategy. Together, we will look at the tenant information and feedback and monitor the annual tenant satisfaction results

Meet with us on a regular basis to help us with the preparation and creation of our quarterly publication as well as review our materials to make sure they’re all easy to read and tenant friendly.

Help us to go through any anonymous complaints we have received on a quarterly basis, and improve the services we provide to our tenants.

Designed for our retirement scheme and sheltered housing tenants, we welcome you to come together to share your thoughts and experiences, and talk about matters and issues with the support of your Scheme Manager.

If you live in one of our housing schemes with shared communal areas, why not become a champion of this scheme? Simply by providing feedback to your Housing Officer on a regular basis on the conditions of the scheme, such as cleaning and grounds maintenance, you’ll help us to improve our service to all our tenants.

If you’re proud of where you live, why not shout it from the rooftops? Or better, still, why not become our eyes and ears in your community and keep us up to date on what’s happening in your housing scheme and neighbourhood? By keeping us informed, we can continue to improve our housing and the standards of the services we provide.

Opportunities to get involved will be advertised on social media and on our website and you can commit as much or as little time to suit your other commitments.  

Many opportunities for involvement are a one-off and there is a wide range of opportunities to enable everyone from all backgrounds, ages, and groups to contribute.
