Starting and running a T&R group
Setting up a tenants’ and residents’ association couldn’t be easier; all you need is a few people in your area who share a passion about wanting to make improvements. You could maybe attend other public meetings in the area to try and drum up more interest to form a steering group. A start up grant is available from the City of Edinburgh Council for their tenants to cover the costs of hiring a venue, photocopying and anything else needed to help to get started. If you are with another landlord you could approach them to see what help they could offer to get a group started. ETF is available for tenants of any landlord to provide guidance, information and support.
At present, ETF has the following member groups:
- Birnies Court Tenants and Residents Association;
- Gateside Tenants and Residents Association;
- Hailesland Park Neighbourhood Council;
- Laichfield Community Association;
- Magdalene Neighbourhood Association;
- Maidencraig Court Residents Association;
- Minorities Initiatives Tenants and Residents Association;
- Moredun Multis & Maisonettes Residents Association;
- North Sighthill Residents Association;
- Ratho Station Residents Association;
- Redbraes Residents Association;
- West Cromwell, Persevere and Citadel Residents Association;
- Wharton Square Residents Association;
- Willowbrae and Duddingston Residents Association.
If you would like to set up a group in your area or would like some more information please contact the Federation Office.
