Tenants and Residents Associations (TRAs)
TRAs are a great way to get involved in your community. They give a voice to residents who want to get involved in how their homes and neighbourhoods are run.
A Tenants and Residents Association is also an organisation that can benefit the community by promoting activities and events which promote social cohesion and well-being.
The following TRAs are listed by neighbourhood.
