Together with Tenants January 2026

Safety in your home

January brought some challenging weather, and with the cold, wet conditions affecting many of our residents, we wanted to make sure tenants had clear, accessible information to help keep their homes safe and well‑maintained. 

Throughout the month, we shared a range of important safety topics across our social media channels, highlighting how we can support you and where to turn if you need help. 

What We Covered in January 

Despite the grey skies and unsettled weather, engagement from tenants was fantastic. Over the month, we shared guidance on: 

• Domestic Abuse Support – Signposting confidential help and advice for anyone experiencing or concerned about domestic abuse. 

• Gas Safety – Ensuring tenants know the importance of annual gas checks and how to report any concerns. 

• Fire Safety – Tips on preventing fire risks at home and understanding what to do in an emergency. 

• Stock Condition Surveys – Updates on ongoing surveys and how they help us plan future improvements to your home. 

• Safety in Shared Spaces – Reminders about keeping communal areas clear and safe for everyone. 

• Electrical Safety – Advice on using appliances safely and recognising potential hazards. 

• Water & Drainage Safety – Information on preventing blockages and keeping systems flowing smoothly. 

• Asbestos Safety – Reassurance about how asbestos is managed safely in homes where it may be present. 

• Damp & Mould – Practical tips to reduce moisture and information on how we can help if you experience issues. 

We’ll continue sharing helpful updates throughout the year—and as always, if you ever need advice or support, we’re here to help. 

Starting the New Year at Dalkeith House 

Tenants at Dalkeith House began 2026 with warmth, creativity, and community spirit at a cosy New Year coffee morning. 

The event was a relaxed get‑together, where tenants enjoyed crafting activities and colouring in bright New Year posters—perfect for bringing a bit of cheer to the start of January. 

With hot drinks, biscuits, and plenty of friendly conversation, tenants and their guests made the most of the chance to catch up, connect, and enjoy each other’s company. 

The morning was a lovely reminder of how small community activities can make a big difference—offering a welcoming space to stay warm, socialise, and start the year on a positive note. 

Our Winter Village Engagement Day 

We’ve been out and about visiting one of our local winter villages—meeting tenants, sharing information, and enjoying the festive community atmosphere. 

Our engagement days are all about connecting with residents, listening to your views, and making sure you know about the support and services available to you. We loved chatting with everyone who stopped by to say hello!
