2. “I currently share a bedroom with my daughter. I
dream of playing in my own back garden with my
child.
I am 29 and my daughter is 5 years old. But the
day I push my child’s swing in our garden is
getting closer.
As I will shortly move into a home I have
designed.”

15. Putting you in control
Co-operatives in the Accord Group give
their residents a real say in
•Deciding who moves into rented properties
•Deciding what contractors carry out repairs
on your homes
•Deciding the service standards that you
receive.
•Making your home part of a real
community
In different Co-operatives these things are
done differently we realise your
community is special and that it needs to
work for you.
