Wednesday 19th of February 2025
Early this year we launched the report ‘Is There a Seat at The Table? Minority Voices in Tenant Engagement’ and on the 6th February 2025 we presented the findings at a webinar, which we were delighted brought in so many people, and who showed their support for the work. We were flooded with lots of brilliant questions, many of which we didn’t have time to cover properly, so we thought we would take this opportunity to explore some of these a little further through this blog.

Its going to be a one stop shop for all you need to know if you’re an engagement staff member. We will have experts there on regulation, scrutiny, social media, and all things in between. If you’re not booked on, please try, and make it. you really can’t afford to miss it, the link to book is below.
The second is equally important and if you’re an engagement professional well its about you. I have the tricky post lunchtime plenary slot, and I need your help.

Working Together to Improve Community Engagement and Resident Satisfaction in a Housing Redevelopment Project
Thursday 9th of January 2025
The Lewisham Park Tower project is a major renovation and fire safety upgrade undertaken by Housing Association L&Q Lewisham Park Tower.
The scope of the project includes:
• Window replacement
• Structural repairs to the façade
• Roof replacement
• Extension to boiler flues
• Extractor fans upgrade in kitchens and bathrooms
• Installation of new soil vent pipes on the building exteriors and,
• External wall insulation.
Axis, the primary contractor, recognised the works are highly disruptive. The residents had already experienced four years of disruption during the first phase of the project which involved the installation of fire stopping and sprinkler systems.
With that in mind Axis’ main priority has been to minimise disruption and ensure the residents’ needs have been considered every step of the way. The aim, to make residents experience as stress-free as possible. With such a large and disruptive programme of work, key objectives have included, improving the safety and living conditions for residents, while also building trust and engagement with the community.
