Introducing our Resident Voices Channel

Complete online surveys, improve services, and get rewarded. Say hello to our Resident Voices Channel.

Give your opinion to improve the services you get from us, suggest new ideas, and get free high street shopping vouchers- all from the comfort and safety of your own home. 

Be part of Resident Voices Channel (RVC) and share your thoughts to help us deliver a better service for your community. 

You’ll need to have access to the internet and use email to join the RVC as all activity is happening online. We’re sorry there isn’t currently another way to take part if you don’t use the internet or email- but we may develop other ways of taking part in the future.

Being part of the RVC won’t require much of your time but it will give you the power to make an impact and reward you with points each time you take part that build-up to high street shopping vouchers.

I think it's a vital communication tool and it helps to raise any concerns/feedback via the surveys we're asked to complete. One of the most recent surveys I completed was on cost of living support, and I thought this was very well designed.'.

It's giving people a voice- whether it's to offer ideas, possible solutions, or just to comment on things that matter. I've found it not only helpful, but informative as well. I'm quite looking forward to the next survey to see what crops up!'.

How it works

How it works:

We'll send you surveys to complete online and get other opportunities to tell us what you think. You’ll receive points for each activity, which you can build-up and convert into high street shopping vouchers each year– helping your community and yourself. 

We might expand the ways to be involved in the RVC and also the range of benefits from being a member. We'll let you know in advance if this happens.
