New Residents Handbook
15 March 2011 by Hamst
Scunthorpes biggest social landlord, North Lincolnshire Homes (NLH) have just issued a handbook encouraging residents to get involved with their local community. The handbook provides details and information on the core values and principles which govern how NLHs operates its residents involvement service.
Resident associations are one of the most popular forms of involvement but there are many other structures and opportunities available which can be read about in the handbook. It gives advice of the responsibilities NLHs has to ensure resident associations are being representative and accountable to their local communities.
The useful handbook also explains how professional help and advice can be given to community groups in applying for award grants for a wide use of things, i.e. purchasing computers, gardening equipment or for match funding when external bidding.
The handbook can be found here, Residents Involvment Handbook, along with various contacts.

Visit Scunthorpe is North Lincolnshire's only truly independent, non commercial, community news web site.
Established in January 2010 we have lots of members with a wide range of views who all contribute
independently with articles of their own.
You won't find dozens of adverts covering our site, or some poor attempt to promote local business services under the guise of offering a community service.
Here on VisitScunthorpe we are interested in just one thing, building an online community which is representative of the people of Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire and the surrounding area.
