Emma Nicholas, Chair of the Tenant Action Panel, expressed her delight, saying: “It’s great to see the work of tenants being recognised, and how their time and influence is really making a meaningful difference to Trivallis. Being recognised for best practice means a lot to all of us involved tenants, we regularly celebrate and share our success internally, but it’s great to be able to now share that learning with the wider sector. We volunteer our time because we care, and this recognition helps us keep the momentum going and brings more people on this journey with us.”

Putting tenants at the heart of service delivery and ensuring changes are rooted in their experiences makes such a difference. Without tenant involvement, we would not be the organisation we are today, which is why we are being recognised for best practice.”
