Resident Involvement
WERMO offers a range of opportunities for residents to get involved in the management of the homes and the estate community. The WERMO Board is made up of 11 residents - tenants and leaseholders. All residents are encouraged to influence and be involved in the decision making processes:
by completing and returning survey / questionnaires
by joining focus groups that will be set up to monitor and have input in the various services
by becoming a mystery shopper to help monitor the services provided by URH organisations
by letting staff and board members know your complaints
by letting staff and board members know what you like about the service and any ideas you have for improving the services provided
by becoming a board member
WERMO also produces a newsletter, which is delivered to residents 3 times a year. Additionally there are notice boards in each block entrance. The newsletter and notice boards keep residents up to date with news and information as well as meetings and social events.We want more residents to get involved with the management of the estate.
