Hear from Catherine, Eastlight Resident and Customer Influence Committee Chair.
“Hi, I’m Catherine – I live in an Eastlight home, and I’m proud to be part of the Customer Influence Committee (CIC) and Eastlight’s Board.
We’re a group of residents who make sure our voices shape the homes and services we all rely on. Our role is simple but powerful: we connect directly with Eastlight’s Board and Executive Team, using our insight and experience to help steer the important decisions that affect us all.
Since joining in 2022, I’ve seen how our feedback leads to real change. Whether it’s improving services, influencing policies, or tackling the things that matter most, our voice is heard and acted on. I’ve also drawn on my professional and personal experience of disability to help Eastlight improve how it caters for diverse needs.
Right now, we’re looking for two new residents to join the CIC, and our Board are also recruiting a Trainee Board Member.
You could be a tenant, shared owner or leaseholder – what matters is that you care about your neighbourhood, are able to put yourself in a customer’s shoes, and want to help shape Eastlight’s future.
If you’ve ever wanted to hold Eastlight to account and make a real difference – this is your moment.
