We run a range of Customer Involvement groups at Taff, including special interest groups, equality groups and consultation groups that help shape the work of the association and help improve our services for all Customers.
Taff Tenant and Resident Association
This group is constituted and the Chair is Sue Carleton. Taff’s longest serving group meets every month and is made up of a diverse range of people who set their own Agenda and produce amazing results. The group is responsible for a whole range of events and are always open to hearing new ideas so if you have any, get in touch!
This group also manages the Food Co-op which is delivered every Friday from the Tenant Resource Room in the car park at Taff. If you would like to know more about getting a big bag of fresh fruit or vegetables for just £3, get in touch with the Community Investment Team at Taff
Scrutiny Panel
This is a vital group for Taff as it ensures that we comply with regulation requirements by scrutinising our services. Tenants on the panel meet regularly to examine services and report their findings to Taff's Board. So far they have completed excellent reports on the Anti-Social Behaviour Policy and Procedure, the Rents Service and Customer Service at Taff. These can be read Here
