The annual awards celebrate outstanding achievements in tenant participation by individual tenants, tenant groups and social landlords.

The awards will be held on 20 June at the Golden Jubilee Hotel, Clydebank, as part of the programme for TPAS Scotland’s three-day annual conference. Taking place from 20–22 June, the event will also see the organisation celebrating a significant milestone – its 45th anniversary.

Jaqueline Norwood, TPAS Scotland executive director, said: “Across Scotland, there is excellent tenant participation work being done by tenants, tenant groups and social landlords, and our National Good Practice Awards are a chance to recognise this.

“If you’ve been involved in projects or initiatives that have had a significant impact, I’d encourage you to enter once our awards open.”
