Chapter 9: Getting involved
In this section:
Tenants Association Sheltered Housing
Tenants Association Sheltered Housing (TASH) meetings are open to all Swindon Borough Council sheltered housing tenants. The purpose of the meetings is to ensure residents' views are heard and understood by those responsible for the decisions that affect them.
TASH members help make a positive difference to sheltered housing by influencing important decisions at an early stage, and addressing shared concerns. Key to this is effective communication with other residents and sheltered housing staff.

Street reps
Street reps are community champions who are involved in improving where they live. They join in with community projects and activities and give feedback on the services they receive from SBC Housing.
Street Reps work with the Housing Participation Team to make their neighbourhoods safe, clean and a nice place to live.
There are currently groups across the borough. We will always help tenants who want to establish a new group where they live. To find out more about becoming a street rep, email NBrock@swindon.gov.uk.
