Complete surveys and questionnaires
We share regular surveys with you to understand how happy you are with our services and to give you the opportunity to make suggestions on how we can improve what we do.
We have a number of groups which are open to all our tenants.
Check out the section below to find out more about each group and also our events section.
Volunteer to inspect our homes and communities
Our volunteer tenants play a vital role in checking the quality of our services.
We are always on the lookout for more volunteers, so if you would like to join us, please get in touch with our Customer Voice Team to find out more.
We provide training on what to do for each role, so don’t let that put you off.
Progress volunteers - community
Our community volunteers carry out a monthly check of the area they live in to let us know how the area is looking, what is good and what could be an improvement.
We use these comments to create actions to resolve immediate issues as well as help develop improvement plans for the local area.
Progress volunteers - homes
Our home volunteers help with quality checks on properties that are about to be let to new tenants. Sometimes, this will be a visit to a property or a virtual check using video and photographs. They comment on whether they would be happy to move to the property and what would make the property more attractive to new tenants.
Volunteer to mystery shop our services
Our Talk Back Volunteers provide feedback on their experience when contacting the Group by telephone or live chat. They let us know if their enquiry was resolved and if it was handled politely.
Join us or volunteer at an event
Progress in Bloom and our Sunflower and Scarecrow Festival are annual competitions that celebrate the hard work of our tenants that help make our communities beautiful places.
We also run regular community events such as community clean-ups, cultural celebrations, Community Champions Awards and fun days.
Visit our events page, sign up for your tenant email newsletter, or follow us on social media to find out more and how to take part.
Involvement groups
Including tenant experience as part of our governance structure means we can share what's best for our tenants and communities at the heart of the organisation.
If you would like to know more about our committees, which include tenants and board members (non-executive directors) representation, please contact us.
Tenants’ Voice - Improving Services group
Our Tenants' Voice - Improving Services group (formerly known as the Scrutiny Pool) is made up of tenants from across Progress Housing Group. It completes reviews on different areas of the organisation to identify what we do well and make recommendations for improvements in areas where we could do better.
The Tenants' Forum is made up of volunteer tenants, who receive updates on information and performance for comment before they are presented to our Board.
The Tenants’ Forum meets every quarter and gives you the opportunity to have your say, make comments and ask questions on the information presented.
Your Voice – Complaints and Compliments
This group is made up of volunteer tenants who help us to quality check our complaints and compliments process. The group meets twice yearly to look at our performance in responding to complaints and compliments.
They also use real-life examples of complaints (anonymous) received to check that we are following our process and make suggestions for improvements that could be made.
We hold short sessions to talk about specific services to find out what our tenants think, what we are doing well and what could be improved.
Check out our events section to find out when our groups are next meeting.
