Tenants Voice - Ella Webster

Council Tenant and her experience of getting involved

Ella Webster. a Council tenant. said: "I'm really proud to be involved and help tenants and the Council work together. Its also a personal achievement. I went into the first meeting not sure what to expect; I didn't understand how communities worked together or how tenants worked with the Council. All I knew was that I really wanted to get involved in helping my local community. I've gained so much knowledge and confidence about housing issues since taking part in the Housing Involvement Panel and this helps me help others"

Ella Webster, was awarded winner of the Community Champion Award at the 2018 ARCH (Association of Retained Council Housing) Tenants Conference in recognition for her outstanding contribution.
