LanguageInvolving Younger People
How are Seven Locks Housing currently involving young people?
Seven Locks Housing are committed to involving young people in helping us to develop, improve and monitor our services.
The Apprentices
Working in partnership with Lovell Partnerships and Connaught Partnerships, the contractors delivering our Modernisation and Improvement Programme, Seven Locks Housing have been able to offer apprenticeships to local young people.
Young People’s Guide
My Space, My Place is a comprehensive guide for our younger customers (16 -25 year olds) who are preparing for independent living.
It provides practical advice and guidance about managing money, setting up a home and general health and well-being.
It was developed by the Scottish Council for Single Homeless, and was winner of the UK Housing Award for outstanding achievement in social housing in Scotland in 2006.
The Scottish Council for single homeless has allowed us to customise My Space, My Place for our own young people across the district.
In preparation we have consulted with our young people and the agencies who work with them to make sure it will meet their needs.
If you or a younger person in your family need a copy of My Space, My Place, please contact Tracey Silk Customer Involvement Officer on 01858 414519.
