To strengthen our customer governance and group approach to customer involvement, we are in the process of introducing a National Customer Group (NCG).

The NCG will include customers from:

• Derwent Living
• Cotman
• Chorus Homes
• Castle Rock Edinvar
• Places Homes
• Living Plus 

The NCG will have a strategic overview and influence on key issues, policies and strategic priorities affecting services to customers across the Affordable Housing Group as a whole.

The group will represent the customer voice, it will work with smaller more local customer involvement groups such as scrutiny teams and ensure there is a two way communication between Places for People Regulated Board and customers. The group will help shape and improve services whilst sharing best practice across the Affordable Housing Group.
