Back for 2022, the ARCH Tenants' Conference will be held on

Working with tenant representatives and officers from Stevenage
Borough Council, the ARCH Tenants Group are delighted to be

building safety.
A preview programme will be available on the ARCH website in
July.
Attendees will;
- Receive up to date information on key topics affecting council
tenants and landlords.
- Have time to explore and debate how they can have a greater
influence on the way services are delivered by their landlord.
- Connect with like-minded tenants from across the country.

ARCH Community Champion
Awards
At this year's conference the ARCH Tenant Group will be
announcing the winners of the ARCH Community Champion Award which
recognises the dedication, willingness, inspiration and devotion
that our tenants freely give to others and it is hoped that this
can motivate others and give them examples of things they can do in
their own community.
In 2022 there will be two ARCH Community Champion Awards, one of
which will be specifically for those aged under 25.
The awards recognise individuals or groups who have dedicated
their time to making a difference in their community and to the
lives of people living in social housing. They don't necessarily
have to be part of a formal tenant panel, tenant & residents
association, group, committee or forum to be nominated. Nominees
can be a tenant, a member of the tenant's household, a community
group or anyone contributing to the Hosing Revenue Account.
To request an entry form please email rose.buckle@housemark.co.uk.The
deadline for entries is Friday 12 August
2022.
The announcement of this years' winners, and the presentations,
will take place during the conference.
