Setting up a tenant group

Want to get involved in your local community?

Getting involved in local community groups and activities has a huge range of benefits.

• Feeling connected with people and places
• Meeting like-minded people who care about the local community
• Having your voice heard on local issues and be a part of improving the community.

There are lots of community groups and activities taking place across Speke and Garston, if you would like information on things you could get involved with, then please contact [email protected].

Setting up your own group

You can also take the first steps in setting up your own group. This could be:

• A local community group: A formally constituted group that meets regularly to tackle local issues.
• A tenants and residents association: A formally constituted group that meets regularly to improve or manage services delivered within a specific location.
• A community project group: A group set up to deliver a specific community project or event and disbanded once delivered.
• An activity group: A group that delivers activities to meet the needs of the local community, such as dog walking or art clubs.
