Earlier this year, we welcomed applications for an Eastlight resident to join us as a Trainee Board Member.
The Board helps to guide Eastlight’s future direction, making sure we make good decisions, listen to residents and provide the homes and services people really need. Thank you to everyone who applied.
A familiar face to Eastlight, Magenta Lavey has now taken up the mantle!
“Hi there, I’m Magenta – an Eastlight resident living in Suffolk. I’m thrilled to have recently been appointed as Eastlight’s new Trainee Board Member.
“I’ve been part of the Eastlight community since 2022 and have really enjoyed my time on the resident-led Customer Influence Committee (CIC). Being on the CIC has given me the chance to listen to other residents’ views and work with Eastlight to improve its services – an experience that inspired me to get even more involved.
“When I saw the opportunity to become a Trainee Board Member, I wanted to bring my skills in communication and problem-solving to the role, while also learning more about governance and leadership.

"I’m excited to work alongside the Board, residents and the Eastlight team to help shape decisions that make a real difference"
“As part of my new role, I’ll be chairing the Resident Members Steering Group, which will make sure the Resident Members Charter is firmly embedded within Eastlight. I’m looking forward to encouraging resident involvement and helping guide discussions that influence Eastlight’s priorities now and in the future.
“For anyone thinking about getting involved, I’d say: go for it! Your voice truly matters, and being part of these groups is a great way to make sure Eastlight is always doing what’s right by us.
“I’m proud to serve as a Trainee Board Member, making a positive impact alongside my fellow residents.”
