This year, Tuntum are taking part in the National Scrutiny Week. The week is being coordinated by Tpas. As members of Tpas we can join all the virtual events as part of the week for free.
It’s a chance for us to celebrate the impact of our scrutiny work and learn about how other organisations work in partnership with their tenants too.
At Tuntum, we have a fantastic group of volunteer residents who form our scrutiny group called ‘Magnify’. You can find out about their latest work by clicking here. If you are interested in becoming one of the panel then please do complete the contact form.
Highlights during the National Scrutiny Week include a No-Nonsense guide to scrutiny and Scrutiny Top Tips workshops. Plus there will be live tenant discussions and showcase sessions.
We’d love for you to get involved and show how things are done differently here at
Tuntum Housing Association.
