Resident Group

We are committed to improving our services. To help us achieve this, we need to know that residents’ expectations are being met and maintained. Increasing communication between residents and Network Homes helps us to understand how residents feel about the services we provide and how we can improve them. Creating or joining a Resident Group is a great way to achieve this and is also an opportunity to get to know your community.

Resident Groups has the same purpose as a Residents Association but offers more flexibility.
