Customer Voice
How you can get involved
Every voice counts, no matter how it is communicated.
We want to give all our customers a voice, so that you can have your say and help make positive changes to the services and homes provided by Incommunities.
Get involved, as little or often as you like.

Who takes part in the Customer Voice Initiative?
As customers, you are at the heart of Incommunities, we want to hear from you, we want to work with you to make continuous and meaningful improvements to our services.
Every voice is important.
Whether you’re a new or longstanding customer, living is sheltered accommodation or any other type of home. Everyone is welcome to share their thoughts and get involved.
How will it work?
We want to hear from you about suggestions for improvements to our services, issues that affect you and you and your community.
You can be involved with us little or as often as you like.
It can be structured or informal.
How will we communicate?
Face-to-face, over the phone, via text message, email, online surveys, and virtual meetings – however you like.
Some people have very little time available, and they may only have one point that they want to raise with Incommunities. That’s fine.
You may want to give us slightly more regular feedback, but only related to one specific area of our service. That’s fine too.
Or you could give us regular feedback about lots of areas of our service.
You may want to get really involved, engaging with us about our services in a regular, structured way. There may also be a chance to share your experiences and knowledge with our Customer Experience Committee.
What do customers get out of the involvement?
The opportunity to be involved with improving your home and community.
- The chance to use your skills, knowledge and experience to make a difference in your community.
- Take advantage of training to build your skills and knowledge.
- Give your feedback on the quality of our services and homes, compare our performance with others and hold us to account.
- Chance to review insights and reports so you can judge Incommunities’ performance on landlord services and issues that affect them and the wider community.
Your voice will be heard, and we will tell you what changes we have made as a result of your involvement.
