Annual Conference 2010

Raising Standards: 2010 & beyond

This year’s TIS Annual Conference is being held on Saturday 12th & 13th June 2010, at the Beardmore Hotel, Clydebank, Glasgow.

This year sees a new Housing Bill being introduced in the Scottish Parliament. The Bill proposes reforms to the Right to Buy, modernising how social rented landlords are regulated, introducing a Housing Charter for Scotland and making improvements to the private rented sector. Tenants and residents groups have an essential part to play in shaping the Bill and the Charter to raise housing standards and services.

Over the course of this conference delegates can look forward to:
Hearing from the Scottish Government on it’s plans for social rented housing;
A “Question Time” session on “Investing in Social Housing” with representatives from the Scottish Government, tenants and landlord sector;
A range of topical and skills based workshops;
Meeting delegates from all over Scotland

The TIS conference has something to offer everyone, whether you are new to a group, or a long established member of a tenants and residents group. The conference is also aimed at Tenant Participation staff, Community Workers and other staff working with tenants.

Annual Conference 2009

This year’s 20th Anniversary Annual Conference was another huge success. Throughout the weekend delegates had the opportunity to give their opinions on a variety of housing issues that mattered to them in the TIS campervan. Delegates got to see the finished DVD at the closing session of the conference. During the weekend we also hosted a lively Question Time session with William Fleming from the Scottish Government, Alan Ferguson from the CIH, Karen Neary from Riverclyde Homes and Danny Mullen representing tenants & residents groups. Delegates enjoyed a variety of case studies and workshops such as Developing Tenant Involvement, Involving Young People, Energy Efficiency and Funding for Social Rented Housing.
