Shape your shareholder offer

There's still time to get involved in an exciting project to shape the future of shareholding at Eastlight.

An Eastlight staff member is chatting with an Eastlight resident. They are both sat on chairs around a table inside a communal area of a Housing for Older People scheme.
  • Two elderly women are sat on a sofa. They are both holding a mug and are laughing.

    We have around 4,500 resident shareholders

    These shareholders are invited to Annual General Meetings (AGMs) and vote on resolutions, including for Board Members and who our auditors should be.

    However, typically fewer than 100 shareholders vote at our AGMs. This year, we’ve held a series of workshops and conversations with shareholders to see if we can make it more meaningful to more people.

  • A group of residents are sat around a table.

    At those meetings, residents told us:

    • They want more connection and communication with Eastlight, and feel the connection isn’t as strong as it once was
    • Many residents want to give their time and energy to make a difference in their communities
    • Some felt shareholding itself is a misleading term, as it suggests shareholders have a financial stake in Eastlight, which they do not.
  • A man and woman are looking and writing on a clipboard.

    We have now begun working alongside a group of shareholders to co-design a new offer.

    If there are any substantive changes, then we would put that proposal to shareholders.

    It’s not too late to get involved! If you’re a shareholder and want to share your views, please email community@eastlighthomes.co.uk or call us on 0330 128 0330.

    A group of Eastlight residents are involved in creating a new online portal to replace My Eastlight. The new online system will provide a range of services at the touch of a button, including managing your rent account and updating your personal details.
