Our Customer Engagement team has been busy developing a programme of engagement opportunities for customers to influence the services we provide. We’re also reaching out to customers aged 16 to 26 years old, as we want to work with you as we shape up some new and exciting youth engagement opportunities. We are looking for ambitious young people to join our youth voice group and help us shape those opportunities in the right way!
We know that young customers have important insights on what it’s like to live in SNG homes and communities, and that their forward-thinking ideas will help us enhance the services we provide too. So we’re setting up a new group for customer aged 16 to 26! The group will be focused on developing the skills of our young people, as well as offering experiences and opportunities to improve the work we do at SNG to provide good affordable homes, that are the foundation for a better life.
This group will build momentum from now into the new year, and it’ll be shaped by the young people who sign up to be involved, in partnership with SNG and youth engagement specialist Joseph Gray, who works across the youth sector creating opportunities for young people.
For this group, we want to work with young people living in homes we manage, to make sure we are considering all voices when shaping services. We want our services and engagement opportunities to be up to date, forward-thinking, customer-centred and as useful as possible, so it’s essential for us to work with people across the age ranges. It is likely that meetings will take place online, but we are open to running the group in whichever format works for people taking part.
We have some clear ideas for what this new group will get to do. They will:
- Develop excellent skills for the future through working on projects
- Gain useful experience working with other young people and teams at SNG
- Build networks through the people they encounter along the way.
As well as being part of an exciting opportunity to have your voice heard, there will be rewards along the way for your hard work, including vouchers for your involvement in the various projects on offer, pizza parties, giveaways and mentoring sessions.
This opportunity is open to all customers aged between 16 and 26 years old, in any SNG home, tenancy type or location.
