Message from Chair, Choice
Tenants’ Central Forum
As Chair of the Tenants’ Forum and on behalf of the Editorial Team, I would like to
introduce you to our 2021 Choice calendar.
Our Editorial Team is made up of tenants and staff working together on numerous
publications - most notably Choice News and this annual calendar.
We hope you find the calendar useful as it has lots of space to record those special
dates and events – as well as highlighting bank holidays and other important
occasions. Also included is some information on the services Choice offer, as
Choice Tenants’ Forum Editorial Team: well as opportunities the Association provides for tenants to engage.
Julita Boyle, Bill Jeffrey, Geraldine McKee, Billy McKee, Rita
Murray, Sylvia Shaw, James Watson and Siobhan Rogan. ‘Together we enrich lives’ is the mission statement at Choice and working together
with tenants to improve services and create good homes is a cornerstone of what
this Association does. Your feedback can help us shape and improve these services.
We have a number of interesting ways for you to get involved. I know the Tenant
If you’re interested in joining our Tenant Involvement Involvement Team would love to hear from you and I would encourage you to use
Programme please contact the Tenant Involvement your voice and engage with Choice.
Team on 0300 111 2211
2020 has been an unprecedented year as we all adapt to the new ‘normal’ because
of Covid-19. As a result Choice is maintaining tenant engagement virtually which has
helped us stay in contact and continue to have input on behalf of Choice tenants
across a range of issues. If this is something you would like to try or sign up to
just give the Tenant Involvement Team a call. Choice provides help and support to
tenants where necessary and I know this will go on in the months ahead.
Finally - I know in 2021 we will continue the good work we do in the Tenants’ Forum
helping Choice build sustainable thriving communities.
With every good wish for the New Year,
