3 Tenants and Residents Associations (TRA) This guide has been written to assist you in setting up and running a TRA effectively and independently. The information supplied is for a guide only, how you run your association is up to you. There are however certain criteria you need to meet to become a Registered Tenants Organisation (RTO) and to receive funding from West Dunbartonshire Council. Agreeing meetings You have to agree how often you will meet as a group. In order to meet registration criteria you are required to agree that some of your meetings will be public meetings where anyone from your area can attend. It is common for groups to agree to meet on a monthly basis excluding July, August and December, with every third meeting being a public meeting. It is also common practice to meet at a regular time in the month (for example, the 3 rd Wednesday of the month) to easily remember when the meetings occur. Some groups also agree their meetings for the forthcoming year, which allows the secretary to book accommodation in advance. Agreeing a constitution In order to register as an association you will need a constitution. A constitution contains the main principles for your group. It will outline things like when you will meet, how many people you require at meetings. Constitutions can be updated at Annual General Meeting and if required at an Emergency General Meeting held specifically for that purpose. Electing Committee Members To start a Tenants and Residents Association you will need at least 5 committee members. Within the 5 members, you will need to elect a minimum of 3 office bearers. You are required to elect: person You can also decide to elect Vice person Minute More information on the roles of the office bearers can be found on page 7. 3
4 To Officially elect members of the committee a proposer and seconder are required. If more than one person is proposed/seconded for a single position a vote should be held (members only) with the person gaining most votes getting the post. Finance/Opening a bank account As a Tenants and Residents Association with a constitution you will be able to access funding from West Dunbartonshire Council for running the association. This will include money for accommodation, stationary, and travel on behalf of the association. Electing a treasurer to maintain your accounts is essential. They will record all income/expenditure, ensuring all records are up to date and accurate. Financial reports should be made available at meetings. In order to receive the funding and maintain the finances you will require a bank account. Generally you will need to assign 3 signatories to the account and 2 of these people will need to be present to withdraw funds. We recommend the following bank: Unity Trust Bank Telephone: Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 5pm, calls are charged at local rate addresses Enquiries: Customer Services: [email protected] [email protected] Postal address Unity Trust Bank plc Nine Brindleyplace Birmingham, B1 2HB Using the Unity Trust Bank is quick and easy, and you can also assign a local branch (any bank provider) to deal with your transactions, cheques etc. 4
5 Registering with West Dunbartonshire Council Registering with West Dunbartonshire Council makes you a Registered Tenants Organisation. If you are registered you will be consulted on any major changes to the Housing Service across West Dunbartonshire and on any local issues. Contacting West Dunbartonshire Tenants and Residents Organisation (WDTRO) WDTRO are the umbrella organisation who represent all tenants and residents associations in West Dunbartonshire. They meet on a monthly basis and also have meetings every 6 weeks with senior members of housing staff and Councillors. Anyone from your tenants and residents association can become a member of the WDTRO. You can also pass any issues onto them that you feel are of an authority wide nature. They can be contacted on the below details: Harry McCormack 27/3 Broomley Crescent, Tullichewan Alexandria G83 0JG [email protected] Using an Action Plan A simple way to keep on top of what you need to do to run your Association and what you want to do to achieve your outcomes is to use an action plan. An action plan will do more than your monthly minutes it will help you to stay focused, and help you organise and record your progress. Developing and agreeing an action plan with your committee will help make sure that everyone is clear about what the association is working on and can contribute to its achievements. We have a guidance note that can give more information on developing an action plan. 5
6 Equipment If your group require any equipment in order to run the organisation, such as a laptop for the secretary to type minutes, please discuss this with the Tenant Participation Section Printing We recommend that you use a local library to print any documentation. The group can set up an account and it costs 10p per sheet. This is easier than keeping and maintaining a temperamental printer. Training Requirements If any of your committee feel that they require training to carry out any of their duties contact the Tenant Participation Section who will either carry out the training or get an external organisation to do so. 6
7 The Committee person How successful a meeting is can depend upon how it is chaired. The person is the person who makes sure things get done; not the person who does everything. The person should have a good knowledge of the TRA Constitution Main duties: the meetings Making sure the group achieves its aims Agreeing accommodation, agenda and speakers with for future meetings Vice person If a Vice person is elected they will assume the role of person in their absence. It is recommended that the s name and contact address (this can be a community flat) are available to organisations that may want to contact the group. Main duties: Taking minutes of meetings and distributing them to committee members 7 days (or what s on your constitution) before meetings Keep an accurate filing system of all paperwork and minutes of meetings Dealing with correspondence Agreeing accommodation, agenda and speakers with person for future meetings 7
8 Minute The association can also decide to elect a minute secretary to ease the duties of the secretary. Main duties: Recording minutes Distributing minutes to committee members 7 days (or whatever is stated in your constitution) s handle money coming in and out of the association Main duties: Ensure all bills are paid Prepare a financial report (Tenant Participation provide a booklet that simplifies this process) Take financial information to meetings 8
