Okay, I can see now how you can become involved and on what. It sounds interesting but I've no experience of doing this sort of thing and I'm not a technical expert! How can I get involved?

Firstly you do not have to be a technical expert to get involved. All you have to be is an interested tenant who can comment on proposals, performance and priorities from a tenant perspective. In this respect it's the same role that a councillor or a member of a jury fulfils.

Secondly to help people GM Procure provides training and support in terms of helping representatives get the most out of meetings or sessions that they attend. This is done by assessing the skills needed to be confident and effective in meetings and ensuring that you are able to take an active role as well as providing good easy to follow briefings about the any technical issues.

We run both group sessions and/or one to one sessions (whichever is preferred). We also arrange more practical activities if people feel that they would be beneficial i.e. visit to a repairs call centre, spend time with a neighbourhood surveyor etc.

We will also be providing useful material and information on this website along with details of meetings, training sessions and briefing papers etc.

We also support people in terms of child care or other care costs as well as travel expenses for everyone. We believe no one should be out of pocket because they want to be involved.
