The G15 Residents’ Group (G15RG) is pleased to announce the appointment of Campbell Tickell as the research partner for A Model for Strategic Resident Involvement – an innovative project exploring how residents can play a stronger role in shaping housing policy and strategic decision-making.
The project aims to develop and evaluate a model for meaningful resident involvement at a strategic level, creating practical learning that can benefit the wider social housing sector.
Daisy Armstrong, Chair of the G15 Residents’ Group, said:
“We were really encouraged by the strong level of interest and the high quality of tender applications received. This reflects a growing appetite for practical learning about how residents can shape decisions at a strategic level.
“Our selection focused on finding a partner with the right balance of evaluative rigour and a values-led approach to resident involvement. Campbell Tickell stood out for their ability not only to deliver robust research, but also to share the learning widely so others across the sector can benefit from the insights.
“We are now looking forward to the research beginning, as making a meaningful contribution to strengthening the national residents’ perspective remains central to our mission.”
What happens next
Funded by the Government’s Social Housing Innovation Fund, the project is being coordinated by Southern Housing on behalf of the G15 Residents’ Group, which brings together residents from London’s largest housing associations.
Over the coming months, Campbell Tickell will begin an evidence-gathering phase, working alongside residents and G15 landlords to build a comprehensive picture of how the G15 Residents’ Group currently operates in practice, and to identify the factors that enable or limit its impact.
The research will explore opportunities to strengthen the group’s influence and effectiveness, with the ambition of creating a model that can be adapted by other organisations seeking to embed strategic resident voice across multiple landlords.
Interim findings will be shared later in 2026, with the project concluding in March 2027. The final outputs will include a research report and a practical toolkit to help other organisations establish and strengthen cross-organisational resident involvement.
