ARCH tenant representatives to attend Benefit to Society campaign launch 15/02/2018 Labelled as Tenants

ARCH is a supporter of the Benefit to Society campaign which aims to end social housing stereotypes and ARCH Tenant Group representatives Jenny Hill (Runneymede DC), Marlene Price BEM (Wandsworth Council) and Martyn Lund (Kettering DC) will be attending the launch of the Benefit to Society Campaign at the House of Commons on 28 February.

 

The Benefit to Society campaign brings together nearly 30 housing organisations across the country and has commissioned an academic research programme into the problem of stereotyping social housing tenants to help deliver a high impact campaign that will challenge the way the public think and will help tackle the stigma associated with social housing.

 

The Campaign is led by a steering group of tenants and staff from the sponsor organisations including representatives from the ARCH Tenant Group. 

 

The launch of the Benefit to Society campaign will be hosted by Ed Vaizey MP in the House of Commons on 28 February 2018 and will include:

 

  • new research by the LSE looking at why stigma around social housing has grown, and
  • a social media campaign designed to share a different narrative about the people living in social housing.

 

Watch out for more details of the campaign launch in the next bulletin
