Virtual Voices are individual tenants who respond to emails from Community Gateway staff, asking them to give their views and opinions which are then used to shape and improve our services.

If you want a quick, easy and convenient way of giving your views on our services, you can become a Virtual Voice. Your feedback will be used to make improvements, where needed and relevant.

So far our Virtual Voices have helped with a wide range of projects, including:

• Completing digital surveys
• Reviewing new leaflets before they are printed and sent to tenants
• Providing feedback on hot topics

Our Facebook Group is used to discuss topics and share information.

We hold regular live Q&A sessions and polls and talk to tenants on a regular basis. Think of it as our virtual meeting room. To join this group you must be a current CGA tenant living in one of our properties. You can join here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/CGAEngagement/

In response to the current crisis we have launched a COVID-19 fund element to our Community Fund – this allows groups to apply for funding up to £500 for projects which directly respond to the current crisis.

Are you passionate about your community? Do you want to help us build strong resilient communities which are great places to live? If so we are looking for tenants to join us on our Community Fund Panel.

The panel meets virtually every quarter as well as deciding resolutions online. Meetings generally take around 1 hour and members get to have a real insight into the activities that are taking place in our communities, whilst having the power to make decisions on where we invest our money.

We are looking for volunteers to support our work clubs in providing professional support and guidance, with a view to securing employment for clients of CGA work clubs.

We know that work clubs improve a client’s chance of finding a job. Their efforts are strengthened by belonging to a group of peers in similar situations where professional support (work club coordinators, job coaches and volunteers) is regularly on hand.
