Get Involved
It might be acting on your idea to introduce a freephone number for Repairs Services, inviting you to estate inspection walkabouts with us, or getting you to test our services by acting as mystery shoppers. It's all part of our approach to give you the chance to influence your housing services. Our menu of involvement opportunities are listed on this page.
Involvement StandardsAs part of our commitment to deliver great housing services for thriving neighbourhoods, we have standards for involvement.

Each TRA can receive funding through Lewisham Tenants’ Fund for day-to-day running, events and computer equipment.
