Get involved
Get involved in Magenta Living's tenant and residents programme that offers flexible ways of getting involved in helping shape our services and neighbourhoods.

Whatever your circumstance, or interests, there is something for you!

The eyes and ears of the block they live in
Can report to us directly on issues with cleaning, communal repairs, ground maintenance, graffiti, fly-tipping and any other problems that may be happening within the block.
Not about individual issues but looking at the block as a whole.
The People Network
These are quarterly meetings held either in our Partnership Building or other local community centres. This network offers you an opportunity to hear news and information about Magenta Living's services whilst networking.
Scrutiny Panels
Our Scrutiny Panel is a 'task and finish' group. Magenta Connect members are invited to join a group session to feedback and comment on processes and service. Each group has a different topic and we choose members who are impartial or may have recently used the service.
Look out for upcoming scrutiny projects on the Magenta Connect homepage!
Recent scrutiny examples include:
- Repairs and Maintenance - Policy and Procedure
- Motorised Scooter - Policy and Procedure
- Vulnerable persons - Policy and Procedure
- Safeguarding – Policy and Procedure
- Volunteering

Volunteering
Our vast team of valued volunteers play a huge role in helping Magenta Living to deliver its vision of “Vibrant, homes, lives and neighbourhoods”, quite simply we wouldn’t be able to deliver many of the wonderful community projects across our neighbourhoods without them.
Volunteering is a great way to keep yourself active, meet new people and develop skills along the way. Helping other is a great way to fill your time and improve your wellbeing.
There is a huge range of volunteering opportunities available through Magenta Living and we are on hand to support you to find the right role for you.

Magenta Communities Committee (MCC)

- Be a focal point for all of our community investment
