Summary/Overview:

This website is primarily aimed at Housing Association tenants. It gives good general information and links on starting up a ‘community control organisation’ (For example, a residents’ group), and provides a simple guide to finding start-up funding. The differentiation between community control and community participation is also explained. The site is clearly designed and written, although there are some errors in the interface which make the menus difficult to read. A good list of links is provided.
