Residents Association

A Resident Association is a group of local residents who represent the interests of everyone living in one of our homes, particular area or building managed by Barnet Homes. We provide training and support in setting up new and existing groups, including providing annual grants to registered associations. Take a look at the  or the TPAS Guide for more information on becoming a recognised Resident Association. If you need additional support to set up a group, please .

Community Group

A Community Group consists of like-minded people in a local area and can include a number of different organisations such as the police, schools, faith-based organisations and local business that share the same interest in improving the area and bringing new services and opportunities into the community.

We have created our own how to guide that includes advice and tips. There also a number of useful websites available.

If you would like any further information or advice please email us.

Gardening Clubs

Opendoor Homes’ Gardening Clubs bring neighbours together and help to build healthy communities. Our gardening clubs are open to all residents who do not have a private garden. An individual or a group of residents take ownership of an area in their communal garden and cultivate it. Our Gardening Clubs receive vouchers for plants and equipment, together with advice on gardening and aspects of health and safety. Members can have the opportunity to organise gardening projects and trips by applying for the Community Fund.

Become a member: If you are interested in becoming a member please send an email to Get.involved@opendoorhomes.org.

Work with us: If you have an interesting gardening-related project idea or know of any other opportunities that might be of interest for the Barnet Homes Gardening Club, we’d love to hear from you. Please send an email to Get.involved@opendoorhomes.org.
