Get involved
Eastlight Community Homes will be a trailblazing organisation where our residents are empowered to have a real say and influence, both on services and our future direction.
What does this mean for Eastlight residents?
Residents of Eastlight can vote on key proposed changes
Eastlight is a Community Gateway Association, meaning residents can become shareholders and vote at Annual General Meetings. Resident involvement is at our core and your views shape how we do things.
It’s so easy to become a shareholder!

You decide how much you want to get involved
Residents are empowered to have their say to influence key areas such as strategy, policy and service.
There will be plenty of opportunities, so if you have an interest in a particular area we’ll be there to support you to get your views heard.
We’re here to empower
We provide resources for our residents and work with others to help improve life chances through employment, education, health, care and support.
Residents can shape how we invest in our communities and provide grants to local groups and organisations.
You will be part of a co-operative partnership
We work in a collaborative way with residents, staff, board members, service providers, other local stakeholders and the voluntary sector.
But it doesn’t stop there…
We are working alongside interested residents to develop new ways of getting involved.
Our new Customer Influence Committee (CIC) is being launched in 2021. This will replace the Community Gateway Group (CGG) later this year. We thank the CGG for all their hard work over the years and welcome their support of the new committee.
CIC members will have the skills, knowledge and experienced required to hold Eastlight to account.
We also have:
- New ways of getting involved online, especially if you are short of time
- A Board including up to three residents
- Exciting plans to help residents improve our communities
- Live customer feedback on services through text messages and emails.
