Why Join the Governing Body?
Get Involved: Join Our Management Committee and Make a Difference
We are committed to providing high-quality, affordable housing that meets our residents’ needs. As a community-based organisation, we believe that the voices of those who live in the area should be loud and clear, and one of the best ways to amplify your voice is to join our Management Committee and become an active part of shaping the Association’s strategies.
The Management Committee is at the heart of our decision-making process, providing leadership and oversight on everything from housing policies to service delivery. As a member, you’ll have a unique opportunity to influence how we operate and ensure our services meet the needs of residents.
Why Join the Management Committee?
- Make a Real Impact: Members have a direct say in the key decisions affecting your home and the Yorkhill community. It’s an opportunity to make a lasting, positive impact on housing services and the environment you live in.
- Develop New Skills: Volunteering as a committee member provides an excellent chance to gain new skills, including leadership, decision-making, and governance. Whether you’re looking to enhance your professional development or simply give back to your community, the role offers valuable experience.
- Represent Your Community: As a committee member, you’ll represent the views and needs of fellow residents. Your first-hand knowledge of living in Yorkhill gives you a unique perspective that helps the organisation ensure its services remain resident-focused and responsive to evolving needs.
- Work with a Dedicated Team: You’ll join a passionate, committed team of individuals who share the common goal of improving housing and services. Together, you’ll collaborate to address issues, find solutions, and steer the direction of the association with the residents’ best interests at heart.
What’s Involved?
The Management Committee meets regularly to discuss a variety of issues, including policies, budgets and service delivery. Meetings are typically held once a month (Thursdays at 6pm), with occasional additional sub-committee work or training sessions. No previous experience is required—just a passion for improving your community and a willingness to get involved.
