Since 2000 our aim has been to provide information for individual residents (tenants or home-owners) as well as Residents Associations. We hope we will be of service to you for many more years to come and that you in turn will be effective in supporting your community too
We have been contacted by numerous RAs from all over the country with respect to some of the problems they have faced and have so far been able to help them out. We set up this site to provide a central point of contact for residents and to provide information to help you run your Association. However, we do not offer legal advice but hope to point you in the right direction via our Help Desk.
This website is provided free of charge by the Good Services Bureau Ltd, with information provided by volunteers. With the aid of donation we intend to organise seminars and workshops on various topics at least twice a year.
We are constantly researching for information and aim to provide you with guidance as governances (with policies and good practice) for your Association and to encourage working together to help to bring about change in a positive way. After all, knowledge is power and if we can help you save time and manpower in getting answers, we are pleased we can be of service.
This site is being updated constantly and in time you will find information and links to local councils, businesses, voluntary groups and organisations, doctors, schools and more. You can find more information on the page About RAs. Of course there's lots more work to do, so if you have any ideas or information which can be incorporated into this site, we'd be glad to hear from you.
There is more information on our sister site run under Universal Community Action Network - a company limited by guarantee.
Members of Residents Associations can be made up of people living as follows:
-
PRIVATE (Leaseholders and lessees)
-
SOCIAL HOUSING (Local Council & Housing Associations)
-
MOBILE/PARK HOMES
-
HOUSEHOLDERS (Freeholders)
-
TENANTS (Licencees)
To date we have been contacted by local councils, newspapers and even TV stations wanting an audience in a particular area so we know they are looking at this site. If you would like to register your association, thenclick here.

Sam Garton graduated from Derby University in 2005 with a BA Hons in illustration. He now spends pretty much every spare minute he has on illustration of one type or another. His current obsession is with otters, and in particular one little character he's been working on for a while..
Otter is an innocent little thing who lives with Otter Keeper, and Teddy (her loyal companion who more often than not takes the blame when things go wrong). The stories are aimed at children and adults alike. Otter's world is a confusing little place for her, and while children will empathise with some of her naivety, adults can chuckle along with Otter Keeper's frustrations at her simplistic views on life.
To find out more about Otter, and follow her stories make sure you visit www.iamotter.co.uk. These works are created from original pen and pencil drawings, coloured using a mixture of traditional watercolours and digital techniques."
The 'Rag Bag' recycling scheme has been developed to provide regular fundraising for schools, clubs, nurseries and various organisations UK Wide. The scheme increases awareness about textile recycling and by increasing recycling rates we can help the environment by ensuring less material goes to landfill. The scheme is completely FREE, and your school, club or organisation will be paid for every kg recycled. You can raise hundreds of pounds with every collection made!

Gas and electricity companies
rip us off
They get away with it because they sell something we all need - and they’re too big for each individual customer to take on. But can you imagine if thousands of us, their customers, signed up to switch our gas and electricity companies as one group? If we all join together, we will have enough bargaining power to demand a cheaper price... more
