Congratulations to Martyn Lund, tenant representative from
Kettering Borough Council and representative of the ARCH Tenant
Group on the 'See the Person' Campaign following his election as
Chair of the Campaign's Tenant Leadership Committee.
In March this year we reported
that ARCH Tenants Group members Martyn Lund, Yaw John Boeteng and
Ann Reekie tenant representative from ARCH member Hull City Council
have been elected to serve on the 'See the Person' Campaign Tenant
Leadership Committee.
Formerly known as the Benefit to Society project, 'See the
Person' Campaignhas been created to tackle the stigma that many
social housing tenants experience.
'See the Person'is a campaign led and organised by social
housing tenants and staff working in partnership. The campaign
wants to see a more balanced portrayal and understanding of the
people living in social housing and is funded by sponsor
organisations mainly in the housing sector (including
ARCH).
Further information about the 'See the Person' Campaign is
available on the Campaign's
website.
ARCH Chief Executive John Bibby comments:
"Martyn's election is not only recognition for the
significant contribution he makes to the 'See the Person' Campaign
but is also a reflection of the way in which the ARCH Tenants Group
is beginning to have influence on the housing agenda
nationally."
