How to grow a tenants and residents group?

Most tenants and residents groups start with just a handful of people who are keen to do something for their area.

We are finding people by:

  • Talking to neighbours who share our concerns and may be willing to help;
  • We’ll be putting notices through people’s doors locally to see if others are also interested in setting up a group
  • Setting up this (free) website

If we find there are enough issues and strength of feeling, a small group will get together – an organising committee – to plan the next stages, which will include:-

  • public meetings to test our initial ideas
  • setup the group formally

And here’s a link to the Guide to starting a tenants and residents association.
