We think that it is important that leaseholders and tenants work with us to shape the services we deliver and improve the environment of our buildings and estates.
With this aim, we welcome leaseholders' participation in all our community involvement activities. We also recognise that leaseholders have additional rights and obligations. With this in mind, we offer leaseholders the opportunity to attend the Leasehold Improvement Group and leasehold focus groups.
Especially for leaseholders
You will receive copies of the Home magazine, every three months, telling you what is happening in Lewisham Homes. You will also receive leasehold newsletters with your annual service charge bill and ‘actual cost’ statements. These will include details of the leasehold improvement group topics and leasehold focus group discussions. These groups cover topics about leaseholder ownership and are decided by the leasehold improvement group. Lewisham Homes Leasehold Services’ staff attend every meeting and there are often guest speakers from other services in Lewisham Homes and the Council. Information about the groups is also on our website.
How can I get involved?
You can contact the Community Involvement team to choose which topics you are interested in and the type of involvement that suits you. This information is stored on a database, which we will use to contact you to take part in focus groups, surveys, Improvement groups and email discussion groups that may interest you.

How would you like to be involved?
We have four levels of involvement starting with 'Giving my ideas' which requires only a low level of commitment - an example of this would be completing a survey or taking part in a one-off focus group. The options go all the way up to 'Having delegated authority for budgets/decisions' - an example of this would include becoming a Lewisham Homes Board member or starting a Tenant Management Organisation (TMO).
