Good Neighbours

Our Tenant Involvement Group (TIG) were overwhelmed by the response to their request to nominate neighbours who make their communities a better place to live in, helping to celebrate the ‘Good Neighbours’ theme for Scottish Housing Day this year.  We received over 70 nominations, with a few people having more than one great neighbour to tell us about, and a number of tenants being nominated by more than one neighbour. 

It was an absolute delight for all of us involved to read about the lovely acts of kindness that go on in our neighbourhoods every day, from helping out when a neighbour is ill, to giving lifts, and helping to water vegetables.

The themes that really stuck out for us were kindness and friendliness, with many people appreciating how welcoming their neighbours had been when they moved in or had challenging times. 

The TIG had a difficult time selecting winners, and we’re really grateful to them for doing this.  The winners will all receive a little surprise before the Christmas break, and we’ll be back with more details on the winners in the next e-News. 

Thank you to everyone who took the time to share what makes their neighbours special.
