Introduction

Welcome to the summer edition of Raven Times. We hope you are all enjoying the warmer weather. In this issue we are focusing on sustainability and affordability. We have two articles on budgeting – one giving you tips about how to make your home less expensive to run and another which has lots of ideas about cheap activities for children during the summer holiday. Information about our ‘Hardship Fund’ is also included and if you are looking for a job there is news inside about a new scheme which could help.

You can also read about the exciting new ‘green’ housing development we are building and the way we are improving services. In addition there is news about all the new opportunities for you to get involved in the way that Raven is run – by joining a customer committee or even becoming a Board member. We hope you enjoy reading the newsletter and please get in touch if you have any ideas for stories or feedback about content.
