What we have learned The learning exchange has been two way, the

association has gained an invaluable insight into engaging effectively with younger members of the community and a new way of communicating with residents.

TEEN Zone members now have a firm knowledge of how funding is secured and how this relates to the outcomes expected.

We also now understand how our local housing associations operates and the benefits that local people can bring to local services.

Why is it important to TEEN Zone

Its great to have your voice heard. Collectively we are learning valuable life

skills and building on our knowledge. We have fun and are making positive social

connections. It helps us build our CV’s and personal

statements. We are contributing and making a

difference.

Why is it important to Ardenglen

We are developing new and innovative ways of communicating with our community.

We are broadening our understanding of what is important to local people.

We are at the beginning of a journey towards securing successful succession.

It is a thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding way of working.

We are delivering regeneration projects which are fresh & exciting.
