Get Involved
Woven Community
We have a full Communities Team, working closely with our Housing Officers and Community Assistants to help deliver a whole range of activities, events and classes to communities right across Northern Ireland and help support a greater level of Tenant Engagement. Training and education, arts, culture, health and wellbeing, family days and environmental awareness - young and old are involved, lots of fun is had along the way and new friendships are made.
Check out our Community Involvement Calendar for November 2024 for events in your area.
We have recently produced an Easy Read Summary Version of our Tenant & Community Engagement Strategy which you can view/download below.
