Resident involvement

Welcome to the resident involvement section, which provides information on how you can become more involved in shaping our services.

We will listen to your comments and suggestions and use these to make our services better. We will encourage you to influence and shape our services by sharing decision making where possible.

Resident involvement is not just about talking about your homes, it’s about working with your neighbourhoods. The resident involvement team can provide residents with opportunities to:

influence decisions
get involved to improve services in your local communities
work in partnership with Mole Valley Housing Association and other agencies to maintain and improve standards and services
help Mole Valley Housing Association achieve delivering the right services in the future by working with you.

We can provide relevant training, encouragement and support in order for residents to achieve this.

So what difference do residents make?
