Welcome
Welcome to the Winter edition of The Anchor! As the weather turns colder and Christmas approaches, we’re here to help you stay warm and informed. This edition is packed with tips on keeping your home safe and cosy during the winter months, along with updates on how we’re supporting our tenants every step of the way. You’ve asked to know more about what we do beyond collecting rent, so here’s a look at what we’re doing. Inside, you’ll find details on new projects, fresh ideas, and our Tenant-Led Service Improvement Group. Plus, find out how you can get involved and help make a difference. Get to know our chairperson and find out what it’s like to lead Barrhead Housing. We’ll also give you the latest on our midmarket rent properties, which should be ready just in time for Christmas. Enjoy the read and let us know what you’d like to see in the next edition of The Anchor.
