Tenants help us shape services


TENANTS came together to learn how they can shape what GHA does. An event in Glasgow saw


tenants from across Wheatley Group - GHA’s parent company - learn about our scrutiny panel and tenant-led inspection teams. The scrutiny panel, made


up of tenants and owners, looks in detail at services from a tenant’s perspective and reports back on what works well and not so well. Tenant David Forsyth, from Drumchapel, attended the information session. He said: “We learned about scrutiny today and it was very


interesting. “Being accountable is


important, as is getting tenants involved. It’s a good opportunity for tenants to help make their communities better places.” To find out more, or to get involved, give us a phone on 274 6621.
