Bobby McConnell, Tenant Board Member

As a Radius tenant living at a housing development for people over the age of 55, I became a member of the Radius Tenants Executive Committee and was elected Tenant Board Member in April 2024. 

In my role as Tenant Board Member, I have the privilege of working closely with Radius, acting as a bridge between residents and management. This partnership allows me to advocate for the needs and concerns of our tenants, ensuring that their voices are heard and their ideas considered in the decision-making process. Whether it’s improving communal spaces, addressing maintenance issues, or organizing community events, I find great satisfaction in knowing that my efforts contribute to enhancing the quality of life for all who live here. 

What I enjoy most about this role is the opportunity to further positive change and build strong relationships within our community. Radius has been incredibly supportive, valuing the input from tenants and working collaboratively with us to help create a better living environment. Together, we have been able to implement initiatives that not only address immediate concerns but also set the stage for long-term improvements. 

It’s really fulfilling to see the actual impact of our collective efforts and to witness the growing sense of pride that residents have in their homes and surroundings. 

I am proud to be part of a community that actively participates in shaping its future, and I look forward to continuing to work with Radius and my fellow tenants to ensure that our housing scheme remains a wonderful place to live for everyone. 

Our over 55 housing scheme is a thriving community where we all share a sense of belonging.

Julia Gavin, Foundation Tenant Board Member

As a tenant and a member of the Radius Foundation Board, I am proud to be part of an organisation that puts people and communities at the heart of everything it does. 

For many of us, having a safe and secure home is the foundation on which everything else is built. But Radius Foundation goes further than providing housing it works alongside tenants and local communities to create real and lasting change. 

From supporting people into employment, helping families access essential services, tackling social isolation, to investing in our environment, the Foundation is making a difference where it matters most.

I know from personal experience when people feel supported, listened to, and connected, they can achieve incredible things. 

I am excited to see how, through innovation, partnership, and dedication, Radius Foundation will continue to deliver on its vision of a future where everyone has the opportunity to live fulfilling lives and achieve their potential.

I’m proud to represent tenants on this journey, and I’m confident that by working together, we can create stronger, more resilient, and more vibrant communities for generations to come.

The Foundation will build more than homes, but futures filled with opportunity, resilience, and hope.
Julia Gavin, Foundation Tenant Board Member
