  • Organise and facilitate social activities on and off the sheltered housing scheme.
  • Provide "The Trust on your doorstep" to help with housing matters.

Fire Safety
All sheltered housing properties are fitted with a smoke detection system, which is linked to the emergency alarm and would automatically trigger an alarm call to the visiting Scheme Manager when on duty or go through to the 24 hours emergency alarm call receiving centre.

It is recommended that tenants test the smoke alarm monthly basis.

The tenant's fire safety leaflet is available and will be issued to each tenant during the sign up process.
