Wales & West Housing Association (WWHA) has celebrated the launch of its new Resident Participation Strategy. Over 1,000 WWHA residents had given their views over the past year as part of a complete review of resident participation at the Association. These views were then used to form the basis of their new Resident Participation Strategy.

To launch the new Strategy four events were held during June at WWHA retirement housing schemes in Cardiff, Bridgend, Merthyr Tydfil and Flint and were attended by over 100 residents. The events gave WWHA staff the opportunity to provide feedback to residents who had given their views as part of the resident participation review. Residents also learned more about how their views had shaped the resident participation opportunities now on offer at WWHA and how they could help guide the Association as they deliver the new strategy.
